The IDGR is a private and therefore independent initiative to develop a healthy and thus sustainable balance between global liberated markets (“economic globalisation“) and the thus needed global surrounding conditions.
To make this dream actually become a reality, the IDGR takes action to push forward and create the needed strong, stable, powerful, and (grass-roots) democratically legitimised global governance structure (“political globalisation“) to gain such a balance, to gain a healthy and thus sustainable global society. We call this a “Global Democratic Republic“:
| 0. Global constitution – foundation of the “Global Democratic Republic” |
| Based on the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)” and the “United Nations Charter” we think, a “Global Constitution” can be developed. In its core, it includes the global democratic order of the legislative, executive and justice organisations, enables global citizenship and a global tax system. |

| I. Global Legislation | |
| Global Government There are several possibilities for the constitution of a “Global Government”. The actual solution should be (grass-roots) democratically developed within the development process of a “Global Constitution”. | Global Parliament The “UN General Assembly” is developed into a “Global Parliament”. Members of the “Global Parliament” are elected within global democratic elections based on the “Global Constitution”, global political parties competing for solutions. |

| II. Global Execution |
| The “The International Criminal Police Organization – INTERPOL” and the “United Nations Peacekeeping” is developed into a global and independent execution organisation. |
| III. Global Justice |
| The “International Court of Justice” and the “International Criminal Court (ICC)” is developed into a independent “Global Court”. |
| IV. Global Media |
| With the revenues from the global tax system, a plural, global, and independent journalism can be developed. |

The development of a “Global Democratic Republic” is clearly an act of collaboration and clearly within the context of several global crises we are currently facing, most important in our view global warming, climate change, and the loss of biodiversity.
We think, based on our understanding and judgment of all the data (e.g. form the “IPCC – The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change“) we analysed, we are facing a humanitarian catastrophe within the upcoming years. This will become a reality faster and more sever than official papers are telling us and most of us can currently imagine.
This is the very sad story about the mimetic human forces (greed, vanity, envy, jealousy, group-think) and unleashed global markets, which are the root cause of this unhealthy development in our view. We are convinced, we as mankind have the potential to learn, and we can focus or transmit or divert our mimetic human forces to actions of love, peace, solidarity, health promotion, and sustainability.
The “2nd World War” enabled the development of the “United Nations (UN)“. This (potential) catastrophe now has the chance to develop something which sounded so far utopian. Something, which might be the greatest step forward in the history of human development, global peace, wealth, and solidarity. It is global (direct) democracy and it is based on strong (grass-roots) democratically legitimised global institutions – a “Global Democratic Republic“.
