"...the regulation of the global economy; the resolution of conflicts..." - but who is to do this regulating and resolving and how are they to obtain democratic legitimacy? (surely it would be better to have these matters decided by nation states rather than some kind of trans-national leadership).
"...global population having passed 7 billion recently and heading for 9 billion by the middle of the century..." - what is driving this population explosion and where geographically is it happening?
"Ian Bremmer's case that we live in a G-zero world where for the moment there is no obvious leadership which can overcome the barriers to global co-operation..." - maybe this is a good thing, as global co-operation might mean some form of government by an elite (an aristos).
"Clayton Christensen describes in The Innovator's Dilemma how dependence on gradual sustained improvements results in the downfall of companies; the same concept applies to nations and the global leadership as they tackle the challenges facing us. Innovation will be required - faster, deeper, more disruptive innovation than ever before." - not sure this is true, Japan after the Second World War went from a bombsite to the world's leading industrial economy by applying the philosophy devised by Dr W Edwards Deming of gradual incremental innovation and improvement.
