Post-nation-state worldview
Humanity began in small groups, which became villages, cities, city-states, kingdoms, empires, and, in our time, nation-states.
The long term pattern of civilzation is larger groups, larger numbers of people who are Us and not Them.
It stands to reason that the next stage is post-nation-state.
No single nation-state can "lead", because "leadership" by a single nation-state is old-style nation-state thinking.

Civilization as we know it has already ended
People worry about the end of civilization as we know it.
This is foolish.
Civilization as we know it has already ended.
See Future Shock by Alvin Toffler.
