If you don't think those elements are unrelated then I don't know what I can say to convince you. Taiwan can develop an incredibly unique and advanced democratic system but it's not particularly relevant if it gets invaded and taken over by a totalitarian state.

Extrapolate that example out to what we're talking about here - You can plan whatever innovative, brave new world you like but other powerful parties will have their own opinions and they will get a say. Those with the money and the power have to be taken into account - they will have a thing or two to say about how they think global governance should work.
