ºººAbstract: some ideas for juridico-political bases of global governance:
to think about the power of decision, cultural foundations, management of
natural resources, notions of happiness, supremacy, hegemony. To learn how
to distinguish between decisions having good or bad fundaments. To accept or
to refuse only after being well informed.ººº
In order to achieve global governance, the juridico-political notions to set
in motion should include these principles:
No one should decide in place of the others, though help others to take
*founded* decisions. For childhood this could be a pedagogical measure. For
a developing country, it is a way for its autonomy.
The needs of people are not the same according to where they live in the
planet. To avoid the amalgams between categories of people with the pretext
of having some common features. The cultural habits have a founded
background. *Equality* is an illogic utopia, especially due to the
subjectivity.
Surface, subsoil and aerial space should not be the personal property of
anybody. An individual, a country, should be only the *administrator* of
communitarian goods which everybody should be allowed to benefit. The ways
of management and distribution according to the needs should be submitted to
common deliberations. They would be approved in *delegations of management*,
and adjusted regularly to the fluctuations of needs. The term of *property*
would be replaced advantageously by the expression *set in availability.*
In general, not to rely happiness to the possession of material goods or to
the domination of others, but to the personal self-management in any
particular context.
Efforts towards hegemony and supremacy are insidious and show big dangers.
We need to frame them strictly by rules elaborated collectively, and to
transform the rule of power into the rule of law. However, who will be the
author of these laws, and who will make them respected??
It belongs to civil society to rise up and to say: We want this or that, for
this well-found reason. We don't want this or that, for that well-found
reason. Instead of accepting any manipulation with misleading pretexts.
