A California billionaire is proposing a new tax on AI tokens to fund a sovereign wealth fund. The proposal aims to capture value generated by AI systems and redistribute it for public benefit. The plan mirrors how oil-producing states use natural resource funds, applying similar logic to the AI economy.

“The Illusion of the #Web3 #Decentralization”

Does Web3 really decentralize power — or simply shift it to a new digital elite?

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at World Economic Forum in Davos

At Davos, Mark Carney warns the rules-based order has ruptured, urges middle powers to stop pretending, build shared resilience, and wield values-based realism to confront great-power coercion.

My chapter “The (Dis)Illusion of #Web3 Decentralization for #GlobalGovernance in the Age of #GenAI” is out in @springernature_ct

Web3 ≠ automatic decentralization. Often, it reshapes power and digital privilege.

Trump's 'Board of Peace' (60 specially selected countries) & the US exit from over 60 international Organisations has finally ended 'liberal' global governance which had been (in any case) faltering for some time.

In some senses perhaps we should thank Trump for halting the rhetorical game of global politics that has pretended there was a way massive inequality could be ameliorated by international organisations shaped by the powerful?

The Q. is what's next?

US believes its power matters more than international law, UN chief

As the World Economic Forum gets under way they're pushing a new word in global governance: minilateralism (which is linked or parallel to the previously used 'plurilateralism').

Both words are intended to capture the notion that cooperation is now more likely in focussed not global groups; 'coalitions of the willing'... but really, this is yet another sign that global political fragmentation is continuing to undermine *global* governance.

Much of the debate on strategic autonomy focuses on capabilities and positioning. This piece starts from a different question: what kinds of societies are able to hold power without fragmenting?

The essay explores strategic autonomy as a developmental threshold and asks what Europe, and perhaps other regions too, still need to build.

The World Economic Forum’s bold prediction-3

Global Governance Will Fragment into Regional Entities by 2030

In a world experiencing rapid geopolitical shifts, the World Economic Forum predicts that by 2030, global governance will become increasingly fragmented, with regional entities rising in influence as traditional global institutions weaken. This forecast signals significant changes in how nations cooperate on economic, security, and environmental issues and challenges the future of multilateralism.

The Shift from Global to Regional Governance

Since the mid-20th century, institutions like the United Nations, World Bank, and World Trade Organization have anchored global cooperation. However, varying national interests, geopolitical rivalries, and the complexities of global challenges have tested their effectiveness and legitimacy.

The WEF foresees a decentralization trend where regional alliances and blocs will assume more responsibility. Organizations such as the European Union, ASEAN, African Union, and Mercosur offer models of regional governance that can respond swiftly to localized issues more effectively than broader, more bureaucratic global bodies.

Drivers of Fragmentation

Several factors propel this restructuring:

• Nationalism and Sovereignty: Rising nationalism fuels skepticism toward supranational governance perceived as limiting national autonomy. Countries increasingly prioritize regional alignments reflecting cultural, economic, or security affinities.
• Geopolitical Tensions: Rivalries among major powers strain global institutions, undermining consensus on global norms and enforcement mechanisms.
• Economic Realignments: Trade wars, sanctions, and differing developmental paths encourage regional economic integration as a safeguard against global uncertainties.
• Divergent Policy Priorities: Varied approaches to climate change, migration, and technology governance make unified global rules elusive.

Potential Benefits of Regional Governance

Regional bodies often adapt more quickly to regional needs, crafting tailored policies for cultural sensitivities, economic structures, and environmental conditions. They can foster regional peace and development through shared interests and reduce tensions via closer diplomatic engagement.

Economic benefits also arise from harmonized regulations, tariff reductions, and cross-border infrastructure projects that facilitate trade and investment within regions.

Risks and Challenges

Decentralization of global governance presents risks such as fragmented responses to transnational threats like climate change, pandemics, and cybercrime that require coordinated global action.

Competing regional blocs may deepen geopolitical divides, complicating efforts toward global peace and development. Smaller or less-developed nations may become marginalized within regional groups dominated by powerful neighbours.

Examples of Emerging Regional Power Centers

• The European Union’s regulatory prowess and integrated market showcase the potential and challenges of regional governance.
• ASEAN’s approach balances economic cooperation with respect for national sovereignty amid diverse member states.
• Africa’s growing regional integration through the African Continental Free Trade Area aims to boost intra-continental trade and stability.

Looking Ahead

By 2030, governance structures will likely be more complex and layered, requiring mechanisms to balance regional autonomy with global coordination. The World Economic Forum emphasizes innovation in diplomacy, multi-stakeholder dialogues, and inclusive governance models that can bridge local and global interests.

Why the Nobel Peace Prize and United Nations now endanger the peace they were built to protect.
Trust fails when institutions ask for belief without proof.

Accountability is simple. Can the public verify the claim.

The world does not demand perfection from its peacekeepers. It demands proof.
