and now for a world government

A “world government” would involve much more than co-operation between nations.
It would be an entity with state-like characteristics, backed by a body of laws.
The European Union has already set up a continental government for 27 countries,
which could be a model. The EU has a supreme court, a currency, thousands of pages of law, a large civil service and the ability to deploy military force.
So could the European model go global? There are three reasons for thinking that it might.
