Socio-economic Democracy And The World Government: Collective Capitalism, Depovertization, Human Rights, Template For Sustainable Peace Collective Capitalism, Depovertization, Human Rights, Template for Sustainable Peace

This volume offers guidelines for the advancement of developing countries in the context of a neo-humanistic global politico-economic order, involving the establishment of autonomously governed functionally sustainable communities (FSCs), and promoting collective capitalism, partyless socio-economic democracy and people-centred governance at the grass-roots level. For global implementation of socio-economic democracy, FSCs can opt to form self-reliant economic blocs within continental or regional federations (such as the European and African Unions). These federations, operating under the aegis of a globally representative world government, are mandated to serve the collective interests of all communities of the world by providing a most comprehensive charter of human rights and constitutional guarantees. This book can serve as a teaching and research resource for a multi-stage road-map towards a world government system, for the unification of all the communities of the world into one global cooperative, towards achieving sustainable peace.

Capitalism (CCP) of cooperatively managed institutions and enterprises, and (ii) a Civilian Democracy (CDM) sans political parties, whereby the most qualified representatives of all the functional sectors of the community get elected to the local legislature. It also specifies a new economic-political structure in the form of autonomous functionally-sustainable communities (FSCs), within regional economic zones (REZs) and self-reliant regional unions (SRUs, such as the EU). This system of FSCs, REZs and SRUs will come under the aegis of (and collectively represented by) a World government, over-seeing the development of a comprehensive charter of human rights and social justice for all the people of the world. The neo-humanistic integrated system of CCP and CDM, to be implemented within FSCs, will provide grass-roots socio-economic-political empowerment, contrary to the system of centralized economic and political governance.This book serves as a valuable teaching, learning, knowledge and research resource for (i) a holistic approach to a sustainable living environment promoting collective welfare, and (ii) a multi-stage road-map towards a world government system for unification of all the communities of the world into one global cooperative. The combined system of socio-economic democracy (involving knowledge and conscientious governance executives elected by and directly representing the various functional sectors of FSCs) and world government will help transform the current undignified north-south socioeconomic order into a democratic and equitable globalization order, for collective social security towards achieving sustainable local and global peace. This book is novel and innovative, offering guidelines for theadvancement of developing countries, in the context of aneo-humanistic global economic-political order, involving theestablishment of autonomously governed functionally sustainablecommunities (FSCs), and promoting collective capitalism, partylesssocio-economic democracy and people-centered governance at thegrass-roots level
