Well, internatioanl law offers a sort of model. There
are norms taht everyone agrees to follow because it is
the common interest that there be such norms, even
though you can't call the cops in unless you are the
United States. Unfortuantely, in a system with a
hegemon, the hegemon may choose to opt out if the
rules don't further its interests. The anarchists say
they won't have a hegemon, but the have only good will
to stand against defection either, and the system
would be severely strained when the rules render their
first decision that really gores the ox of a large
minority. Which is, I add, inevitable. I don't think
it could work, but then, I am a bourgeois liveral
democrat who believes in a state that can call in the
cops and use armed force against noncooperators --
what Barrlett would cal an advocate of tyranny (a
"police state") and slavery. jks
