Union now
Book • 1939
Clarence Streit's "Union Now," published in 1939, proposed a bold solution to the escalating threats to democracy in Europe: a federal union of the world's leading democracies.
Streit argued that the interconnectedness of modern technology demanded a new form of global governance to counter the rise of fascism.
His vision emphasized a union of citizens, not just governments, to foster cooperation and collective security.
The book's impact is evident in the formation of NATO, though Streit's call for a broader political union remains largely unrealized.
"Union Now" serves as a historical precedent for considering innovative approaches to global governance in the face of contemporary challenges.
