Micro-macro dialectics and controversial nature of the human beings

My friends:
Every time that I sit down for to write on the architecture of the global
governance I feel myself obstructed. I find interesting many of the
suggestions that you have outlined (f.e. Marie Martin-Pecheux, W.Fischer,
Pierre Caro) but at the same time I have reticence (as well as
Marie-Chistine Bernard). On one hand I find that the organization mechanisms
impede the solution of problems without of fixed outlines, but on the other,
without organization is impossible to advance and the weakest persons are
suffer at the end the worst consequences. At the same time if people don't
do an inner change, the organization becomes too rigid, but it is not enough
that people transform themselves so that the environment transforms.
There is a dialectics, in my view, among the "macro" and the "micro"; and
dialectical it is synonymous of conflict more than of continuity.
For this reason my proposal is about thinking how the human predisposition
towards conflict could be welcomed inside this architecture that we try to
design. Will it be through law? But in this case, how to agree it? Will it
be through the ethics of people? But in this case who could mediate among
the different ethical possibilities?
In any case a "world governance" doesn't need to govern everything. There
are nearer levels that can be governed in a nearer and particular way.
Perhaps it would be good, before creating the structures, to define the
concrete topics (beyond the values and principles) that a world parliament
should deal with.
I hope to be clearer for the next year, which I wish a good one for all.
