Some day this will happen. Nations working to achieve their national objectives, competing for advantage, but within the framework of a global strategic construct. Would have to be very principle based to work.
If the following syllogism is posited (credit Marc T):

Principle > interpretation of principle > implementation of interpretation

the problem lies not so much in divergence as to the principle, but as to divergence in steps 2 and 3. That is the problem, as I see it, in several areas:

1. Using CvC principles - your world

2. Using legal principles - my world

3. Developing a national policy (grand strategy) - another thread.

A global strategic construct (adopted by the world) is beyond my perception.
