As the murdered woman was transported to the nearest village for treatment, her husband immediately telephoned the American Embassy for quick help. Upon learning that the ambulance has been called back, he panics and soon discovers that a helicopter has been sent instead, which is taking longer. Upon arrival, the embassy apologizes for the delay as it took some time to get permission to let an American plane into the Moroccan desert due to various restrictions. Manfred Steger discusses the idea of a “borderless world” in his book Globalization: A Very Short Introduction, which introduces the thought of the disappearance of the nation state and the introduction of global governance (63). In this case, comprehensive governance may have provided the delayed tourist family with quicker emergency care. Although political systems influence each other depending on the types of decisions they make, and global governance may help some of the disabilities associated with globalization, it does not seem plausible that global governance could be created anytime soon.
