You believe that people are too stupid or incompetent to govern themselves. That only enlightened elites (presumably from some suitably socialist northern European country) are qualified to rule?
Very condescending
PS That's what Hitler was trying to achieve.

look up Global/World Federalism.
The UN was drafted as a quasi-federalist body with a standing body. Over time it has been gutted by the most powerful member states.
One camp of Academics aregues the only way forward on making meaningful progress on the problems effecting all mankind is through a global federalist Socialist state. A kind of omnibenevolent, omnipotent, omnipresent organization that could approach problems outside of regional squabbling and do what is best for all.
The problem is a nation would have to rise to power and take over the world for this to happen or at least the US would have to be severly weakened so it could not interfere. But who is to say it would not be a Facist State.
Another camp of Academics say, we will fail to establish a Federalist Socialist global state, and as a result the world is going to take a large step back and devolve into regional conflicts over water, and Oil.

Government is not a path to anything, peace is being left alone and as such is ethereal. Government is a group of people trying hard to impose a single method to every issue and as such someone will always not be at peace, it's impossible.

Is that a joke?!? Of course not! How does the saying go about absolute power corrupting absolutely?! For you to ask such an obscenely obvious question make me assume that you are just some provocateur trying to normalizing this 'one world govenment debate". It's a fascist, police state system that will mean slavery or death for the average man woman and child.
Wake up!
Globalization = Global Slavery

No, because most of the world is run by Socialisms and dictatorships. Because of this, a world government would probably be closer to this than a Jeffersonian model.

Centralized government will tend toward authoritarianism, especially in light of how violent, greedy, and clever these silly earthlings are. Liberty can only be found in Self-Governance, not in any external authority. The fetters on your mind restrain you far more than any earthly torture device.

Ideally, Yes. A one world govt. would afford everyone the opportunity to travel to any country he/she wishes without the need for visas, just like birds do in winter.
However, the huge wealth disparity bet. 1st world countries and the 3rd world does not allow for the formation of a one world govt. Furthermore, most of the 3rd world peoples would want to migrate to the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia if borders were abolished causing a dangerous political, societal, economic, and environmental imbalance in the above mentioned countries. A lot of countries with the present scenario itself are struggling to deal with illegal immigration issues as is.
Therefore, coming from a developing country myself, I think this is not a feasible option and should not be attempted for all the dangers it poses.

Certainly, it would seem so. However, getting everyone to agree on the "one" is the problem. The problems spots are a result of Religious beliefs. I think Religion and "God" concepts are the real problem. If people simply lived for the "greater good" of us all rather than actions motivated by their concept of "god", we would perhaps, be able to live in peace with each other. We all need to understand that "God" is within...our power to create and love. Peace to you....
