Join the new world

This is the second in a series of articles outlining in detail my stances on what I consider to be the important issues of the day. This entry will deal with international affairs and constructing a global framework for reducing conflict, tension and nationalism.


From my platform:

"2. I desire to promote globalization and global structures to reduce wars of conquest, PTOs and interference in internal politics of sovereign nations. This is a personal interest and may conflict with some constituent opinions. I am stating this here as a disclaimer of sorts to establish my general worldview."

I recently published an article dealing with this proposal in detail. Here's the meat of my proposal:


Globalization

In order to promote the general global security, I am proposing the following international organizations be create😛

1. An “eUN” or, if you’d prefer, something more along the lines of an eOAS, eOAU, eCommonwealth or eEU. This organization would first and foremost be responsible for coordinating among member nations JOINT military security. Member nations would be restricted from military action against other member nations. Territorial integrity of all nations (not just signees) would be enforced by all members. Secondarily, this organization would develop mechanisms to prevent PTOs of member nations internal political structures.

2. An “eWorld Bank” or “eIMF”. This organization would provide needed development funds and loans to underdeveloped regions and nations. The disparity between wealthy and poor nations helps to drive military campaigns as nations compete with one another for access to raw materials and populations from which taxes can be garnered. Helping member nations to develop their internal economies will reduce pressures for economic growth through territorial acquisition.

3. An “eWTO”. This organization would encourage trade liberalization between members by working to drop import taxes. This would give nations access to needed raw materials, a problem that currently encourages the acquisition and occupation of strategic locations globally.

4. Finally, an “eICJ”. This organization would work in conjunction with the first (the “eUN”) to resolve differences between nations and enforce international law. eRepublik has seen the influence that individuals can have over foreign policy. By encoding anti-aggression into international law this organization would gain the ability to prosecute citizens for violations such as inciting illegal wars of conquest, provoking PTOs, theft of treasury funds and whatnot.


Globalization and future US foreign policy

Only by embracing globalization and encouraging nations to truly become bound together as a global community can the USA escape the current cycle. Of course such a policy would require the USA to abandon tactics that its foreign opponents currently employ: territorial conquest, forced treaty obligations, PTOs and other elements of international intrigue and skullduggery. But the ramifications of such a globalization effort would open up heretofore-restricted regions to economic development and growth. It would also free the USA from the current cycle of conflict, confrontation and international rivalry between the US and PEACE at the expense of weaker, less powerful and influential nations.

The prestige to be gained by such a proposal is immense. This is not calling for the USA to be the world’s policeman but rather to join together with the rest of the world in order to help all of us police ourselves and reduce international conflict and strife.

As always, your comments are encouraged.
