The Third Way of Development

 

World history is permeated by conflicts, bloodshed and wars on a regional and global scale. The civilized world, since ancient Greece, is divided into two camps: Democratic and Authoritarian, with different ways of governing.

 

The struggle between the criteria of truth (and the criterion of truth is the governance system) led to different forms of worldview and different forms of human values, divided people into classes, laid the foundation for the manifestation of antagonism, revolutions, wars and social crises.

 

These problems of antagonism and crises are still unresolved today.

 

In today's high-tech age, there are opportunities for new real policies that, unlike permanent millennial struggles, introduce a technological dominant for sustainable democracy.

 

All existing theories and practices of philosophical and political thought are aimed at the struggle for power with the thesis “we will build back better”. But they reject Human, that is, the manifestation of "true individualism" as the highest degree of an individual's responsibility to his/her neighbor, community, and society. In contrast, Digital Democracy fully realizes society's reflexive aspirations for self-acceptance and justice, bringing Human and his/her knowledge to the forefront of peacemaking and well-being.

 

 

What does the Project “Contributions of Individuals, Nations and Countries to World Development” (hereafter – the Project) prove?

 

•        A third form of governing socio-economic processes, based on IT-technologies and inter-system combinations of heterogeneous systems without their forced integration is created.

•        The only mechanism that can sustain this intersystem form in the technological and legal dimensions is the international Trade Union Movement.

•        Knowledge can be governed directly and freely by Human, circumventing state and interstate bureaucratic barriers while remaining within the legal and institutional frameworks imposed by national and geo-cultural specificities.

•        The Project by no means excludes state and corporate governance, but rather brings such governance to a new level of protection of rights and freedoms in the new social reality and the new dynamics of global development.

 

•        The Project, based on the priority of Human and the priority of his/her knowledge, makes it possible to realize the basic postulate of democracy, when the duties, rights and freedoms of one person are limited by the duties, rights and freedoms of another.
