As globalization became a reality in the 1990s, scholars and policymakers began to talk about the emergence of a single “world society” in which we are all participants.

The world society spirit was captured in 1995, by Hillary Clinton in the  adage “it takes a village to raise a child.”

Similarly, the elite participants in the World Economic Forum say they are “committed to improving the state of the world.”

But twenty years on, world society has yet to emerge, except perhaps as a set of protections for successful individuals.
