Governance systems

The system proposal discusses and puts forward options for the following:

What are the benefits of a global government?

What should be the role and responsibilities of a global government?

What should be the role and responsibilities of a citizens?

It is easier to understand governance systems if the models for legislative change are separated from models of economics.

Legislative models

Which legislative model is suitable to define and implement social rules?

Nations do use, and have used, a variety of legislative models that vary in the trust they give citizens, and the involvement they are allowed in defining the rules that govern their lives.

True democracy (aka chaos)
Autocracy (zero citizen participation)
Representative democracy (single party)
Representative democracy (multi party, first past the post)
Representative democracy (multi party, proportional representation)
Direct democracy
Representative democracy (zero party)

What roles should be used in the legislative process?

The system proposes a set of governance roles and their interactions within governance processes. What are the responsibilities of the citizen, the representative, the media? Should there be political parties? How should candidate representatives be funded and trained? How are laws discussed, agreed and implemented. What checks and balances can be built into governance processes?

Regional power - Federation or unitary?

How much legislative power should regions have? Should they be able to set their own taxes? Should they be responsible for service provision and capital projects?

Economic models

The 'Economic administration' section discusses the following:

What are the benefits of moving to a single global economic system?

Which economic model is suitable for a global system?

Communism
Capitalism
Mixed

How would a global economic system:

Resolve the problems of national debt?
Facilitate global trade?
Manage the money supply and the value of things?
Balance economic activity between free-market and government-funded?
Provide capital for economic development and maintain the existing asset base?
Provide well funded global services?
Manage wealth distribution?
Balance the delivery of human development, improvement of our ecosystem and support our transition to an interstellar species?
