HOFFE, Otfried. Pros y contras de una república mundial. Isonomía [online]. 2011, n.34, pp.7-30. ISSN 1405-0218.

This paper explains that global peace could be achieved by means of a State of nations which includes four variants, although it is proposed that only one variant meets the demands of the legal reason: the State of nations with republican form or world republic. Because the appropriateness of a philosophical proposal depends on the examination of its strengths and weaknesses, the core of this paper is the analysis of the pros and cons of a State of nations with republican form.
