Globality

is a way to conceptualize

It

describes modern multilateral co-operation models between states.

This

concept reflects the complex working methods of UN bodies.

The competitive division of competencies between

The

UN is built on a co-operative (‘Kantian’) model, while states mostly operate in

a competitive way, guided by their short-term interests (‘Grotian model’).

The

UN cannot be successful since it is dominated by the 5 permanent member states

in the Security Council.
