Design for future global Democracy

Demokratie gestalten: Von der Kommune bis zur Weltebene

The event provides an overview of democratic structures from the local to the global level.

The focus is on the various forms of participation: from informal formats to processes that directly influence political decisions. One example is the ‘We The Peoples’ campaign. It proposes new mechanisms for the global level: a UN global citizens’ initiative, a Parliamentary Assembly at the United Nations and a Special Representative for Civil Society.

Markus Möller is a sociologist and political scientist and has been active in the democracy movement for direct democracy and citizen participation since 2009. He is a member of the regional executive committee of Mehr Demokratie e.V. in Hesse and is involved with Democracy Without Borders and Democracy International. He is a co-initiator of the World Peace Agreement between World Citizens.
