The international financial crisis has given world leaders a unique opportunity to create a truly global society, Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown will say in a keynote foreign policy speech on Monday.
In his annual speech at the Lord Mayor's Banquet, Brown -- who has spearheaded calls for the reform of international financial institutions -- will say Britain, the United States and Europe are key to forging a new world order.

Hmm, I would think that a 'domino-like' collapse of world financial markets, and the risky spread of deceptive accounting practices, would be seen as incentive against globalization, and an indication that protectionism would result in more stable economies.

Edit to add: This is the first time that the reigns of our economy have been 'up for grabs' in a long time and trust me when I say, they won't be 'up for grabs' any time soon after, at least not through political movement/peaceful resolution, they have already announced that we need change, it is time to show them, that we all agree, but not the change that they hope for.

Paranoia: The new Good Sense?
Would everyone please calm down.
There is an old world order, involving war and dissent, diametrically opposed philosophies holding the planet (and us) to randsome and rubbish TV.
Anyone who thinks we don't need a new world order hasn't yet worked out what the words "new", "world" and "order" mean.
We need to be free from war, tyranny and despotism. We need freedom from financial crisis. We need better television.
Bring it on, G.B.
