Its the idea of a great common democracy online in the "virtual world", where the whole population can meet and talk online as equals as if you ran into them on your own village street corner, (and at least if they get violent, because some think attitude is an acceptable substitute for intelligence, the worst you will get is offended). The hope that if people can learn to accept other people are not that different, just hold different views, and that maybe if we could exchange these views in civil debate, and see things from the perspectives of others, there could be greater world harmony. Most importantly, no national boundaries or national laws, no "big brother" limiting your freedom of thought or speech, just common decency. In the "real world" there are too many would be tyrants to allow such freedom to exist.

In an increasingly interdependent and complex global environment, Global Village is intended to serve as a portal or conduit for sharing, discussing, and transmitting a variety of timely information that impact our daily lives.
A village in which most, if not all, of its inhabitants can have access to healthcare, education, food, clean water, and information. A village that our children would be proud to inherit from us!
The Global Village is much like our communities, neighborhoods, towns, cities, or nations in which we live. Hence, as responsible inhabitants or citizens, we need to collectively dedicate the same energy, enthusiasm, and attention to the affairs of the Village. The reality is that whatever happens in the Village--regardless of its geographical location--often touches our lives in some ways.

It means the world is so small now that the world feels like a village. It is a term usually used by liberal who think they can run your life better than you can, so they want to be put in charge of the world.
