In Toward World Sovereignty, Taylor maintains that permanent world peace and the continuing progress of human evolution require that the nations of mankind come together soon to establish a single world democratic federal government. In the author's opinion, the increasing risk of human extinction that is directly associated with the relentless proliferation of nuclear weapons would appear to preclude any viable alternative considerations. Taylor argues that world federalization will achieve permanent peace as well as a new and higher standard of well-being for most of the people in the world. Toward World Sovereignty provides a dispassionate presentation of all of the components on both sides of the debate over world sovereignty. To the greatest possible extent, the book attempts to trace an outline of the most realistic and likely course for the initial establishment and continuing development of the world democratic federal government.
