Humanity has been passing through stages of collective growth towards integration and unity. Our current collective crises--climate change, financial upheavals, proliferation of nuclear weapons, gross human rights atrocities, mismanagement of critical natural resources--manifest our passage through a turbulent adolescence. This book analyzes why and how humanity can take the next step towards maturity by establishing collective decision-making institutions that can evolve into a world federation of nation-states. Only then will we have a truly peaceful world.

Este livro explica claramente a necessidade por um governo federativo global, bem como os princípios necessários para estabelecer tal governo. Os exemplos de casos que acontecem no mundo atualmente enriquece a exposição e torna suave e compreensível sua leitura. Parabéns para a Dra. Sovaida Ma'ani Ewing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Globalization of Peace, Law and Reason
Reviewed in the United States on 19 April 2015

You would think the concept of a global federation, this blissful gospel of world peace under global law, had gone into oblivion. The fruitful decades of investigations, discussions and enthusiasm, so it seemed, had come to an end and that visionary message had sadly turned into a pipedream. It was said, as feasible as it was, mankind would never be bold enough to take such a revolutionary step, except, perhaps, if we were stirred up by another catastrophe on the scale of World War 2. But then, here comes a clarion call, loud and clear, pure, lucid, logical and persuasive, that says, Hello, my friends, that beautiful goal is still before us! Wake up and make haste, because it is urgent and time is running out!

That call comes from an unorthodox source. It comes not from an ivory tower or other vanguards of western civilization, no, it is the voice of an Iranian woman who grew up in East Africa and whose devotion emanates neither from Jerusalem nor Rome, but from the Baha'i religion, the only faith that believes in the oneness of humanity and the oneness of God.

She presents a blueprint of what such a universal political federation would look like, states that its statutes be written by visionary and wise scholars and reminds us of the difficult lessons learned in the construction of the United States and the European Union. Her proposals become imploring and urgent when mentioning global problems that harbor impending disaster and which demand a global approach. She does not go into the troublesome task of the actual realization of a worldwide federation. That would have opened the door to confrontation with opponents, i.e. those who say, it can never be done, it would be too radical, it is really not necessary, all we need is to reform the UN, or it would deprive our country of its precious sovereignty. She would even have to deal with the conspiratists, who suspect the existence of a mysterious global cabal planning to control the world in an end-stage, apocalyptic Armageddon. It is good she stayed away from it.

Sovaida Ma'ani Ewing brought back to life a terribly important, but languishing idea that was threatening to fade away from human awareness. She possesses a gifted and clear-sighted mind. We are waiting to hear more from her.

Sovaida's treatment of this subject is for me the ultimate to date, richly referenced - the work of an extremely well-trained mind. My gratitude for a job well-done.

excellent simple explanation that the global federation is a need for humanity and we do not need to loose our national identity to establish it. How beneficial it can be for the entire humanity and prevents the fear of another world war.
