Description: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.
