This article explores the world order constraints that inhibit responses to major challenges of global scope, considering especially the experience with nuclear weapons and climate change. The major conclusion reached is that the state system is ill-equipped to produce responses to such global challenges that serve the global public interest. This deficiency arises partly from the primacy accorded to national as opposed to global interest, the extent to which national policy is driven by short cycles of political accountability, and the biasing impact of special economic and bureaucratic interests. Este artículo explora las limitaciones que inhiben las respuestas a mayores retos de ámbito global, considerando especialmente las experiencias con armas nucleares y cambio del clima. La mayor conclusión alcanzada es que el sistema del estado está mal equipado para producir respuestas a tales retos globales que sirvan al interés público global. Esta deficiencia surge parte por la supremacía convenida al interés nacional al opuesto del interés global, el alcance al cual la política nacional se ha dejado llevar por ciclos cortos de la responsabilidad política, y el impacto parcial de ciertos intereses económicos y burocráticos
