Sažetak
The end of the World War 2 had made humanity painfully aware that the next global conflict could well be its last. Although we succeeded in avoiding total annihilation for more than 70 years, we can hardly say that we are living in a peaceful period. Some theorists, such as Marxist thinkers Hardt and Negri, are even going so far in describing our current state of world politics as an endless global civil war, which in their opinion is central in the perseverance of Empire, their concept of (world) sovereignty without sovereign. Moreover, they consider that the global war is a main obstacle in the construction of peaceful world democracy. This paper will examine their position, as well as several other authors in political theory and philosophy, on the possibility of establishing a global, cosmopolitan democracy (and ending the global war).
