Nationalism ie the system whereby global regulatory laws cannot be enforced
against the most poowerful nations. Hence, no global bans on any tech that
shows signs of paying off bigtime. So, while the US Xian Right might try and
force a global ban on such tech as cloning and stem cell research, they
cannot enforce it worldwide. Most esp because of Europe and China. Different
peoples, different ethics, different laws.

And inside existing systems, push for decentralisation of power coupled with
the decoupling of politics and morality.
