Pascual Lamy: EU is the laboratory for global governancehttp://networkedblogs.com/p20070302 

Pascal Lamy, Director-General of the WTO refers to the EU as the "laboratory of international governance". He believes that there is a need for global governance, as he imparted in his speech to the Bocconi University in Milan on 9 November 2009.The speech is very dry, the delivery dull - but it's worth persevering because it is startlingly frank about the coming World Government and the destruction of the sovereignty of nation states around the world.This is the New World Order which many conservative-minded people simply refuse to believe is being constructed.FM Watkins dissects the speech, teasing out the meaning behind innocuous-sounding assertions and pronouncements. Well worth a read.

What Future for Global Economic Governance? – Potential Role of the WTOhttp://library.fes.de/pdf-files/bueros/genf/05790.pdf

The current food, financial and energy crises have demonstrated that global economic governance is in disarray and rather unable to cope with these problems adequately. Thus, just at a time when effective global economic governance is more necessary than ever, the institutions forming part of it, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are confronted with a severe legitimate crisis, and calls for fundamental reforms of the global governance system are getting louder

A former member of the European Parliament reiterated the title of the session and stressed that three issues were central but often left out,i.e. how policy was made, who policy made in whose interest, and to whom policy-makers were accountable. He stressed that any consideration about global economic governance should take into account the interplay between national democracy, democratic institutions, and the policy-making actors. He mentioned that the risks that the EU or WTO would fall apart depended on the ability of decision-makers to carry the people with them, on whose behalf they claimed to act. Many people, including even political elites, felt very puzzled about the world,because decisions, which had impacts on them,had been taken without their consensus or even knowledge. He identified this as a serious gap,which WTO needed to address if it wished to maintain credibility. He warned that international organizations only had the power, which its member states granted them.
