Summary
Chapter 6 concludes this book by spelling out the implications of the preceding analysis for how we should best understand the coming into being of the international realm as the default setting of world politics, and how we should bested understand the corresponding universalization of the nation-state as the predominant locus of political authority in the modern world. I end this chapter by discussing some contemporary proposals to overcome or reform the modern international system cum empire by invoking the concepts of globality and the planetary in search of viable alternatives and a normative ground from which to contest the many excesses of the modern international world.
