Global Democracy and Justice

About Global Democracy and Justice

Humanity needs a new political system. This lecture series explores the alternative vision of extending democracy from the national to the global level, where it could actually work far better. It describes the rational way to balance the power of the global corporations, deal seriously with global crises, and turn nice aspirations like ‘human rights’ to reality. Hear about the history of this idea, answers to the doubts and misconceptions people have about it, and how it could come about. You can listen in any order you like, and also find the YouTube version for some helpful infographics and translated captions.
