Publisher's Synopsis
Study on setting up global governance. This book is an extension of a paper submitted to an international competition to design a new model of Global Governance - one example of which would be a model for a New United Nations. This book elaborates on one such model. It re-configures the United Nations as a progressive model of governance - a Linear Global Governance Model - that is applicable to issues both global and local. The bottom line is that a global decision-making mechanism can be established whose legitimacy will be derived directly from the people effectively bypassing possible dysfunctionalities in their existing governments. The book concentrates specifically on the voting mechanism which is the foundation of the Governance model.
