I totally have a relevant conspiracy theory, if ya'll want to hear it. I may or may not be the first person to think it, but I came up with it all on my own. I'm rather proud of it.
Oh, ok, well, I think that the reason so much of our sci-fi is inundated with "one world governments" is to set the idea in our head that it's normal, because, in the rest of the universe, it is. See, I think that at some point in the past, aliens came to us, or we found them, or... Like... Aliens influenced us in some way, to make world leaders think that the only way to become a part of the larger galactic stage is to have one overruling body of government on our planet. That's why so many large influential governments are pushing other countries to join the UN, and to follow the UNs rules. Whaddya think? I know it isn't the only explanation, but I like my explanation.
It'd certainly give some meaning to recent pushes for globalization.
Though, I'd prefer it if beings were divided by morals and ideology rather then species.
Someone would eventually just crack FTL themselves and sell it for a profit anyways.
Of course "cracking" it may involve some thievery or piracy, but we'd get it eventually.

"Nope aliens, not today, we have to yell at each other for another week straight."
