By this publication the Committee for a Democratic U.N. has provided us with a collection of the most important essays and articles written (1997-2010) by Professors Richard Falk and Andrew Strauss on the subject of global democracy in general and of a Global Parliament in particular.
In their writings, Falk and Strauss not only criticize the inability of U.S. hegemony and of the current undemocratic disorder of global governance to meet the challenges of our global society. Above all, Falk and Strauss introduce us to a practical political project toward overcoming this dysfunction of the global system and moving beyond the westphalian world order: The creation of a Global Parliament.
A Global Parliament - after being established through an interstate treaty - could begin as an advisory body without any formal power over global legislation. With time - and perhaps sooner than later due to the urgency of its case - this Global Parliament could gain enough support and legitimacy to become a major force in global governance and a key tool for humanity toward the necessary democratization of our global society.
