Global Parliament of Mayors

Description

Eric Corijn:

"The project of a Global Parliament of Mayors is about creating a legitimate political authority that can add some governance capacity beyond and besides existing global institutions that are all legitimised by member states, to add some regulatory power to the world system, to restructure the shape of the political battlefield. It is about filling up the democratic deficit that has been created by the uneven globalization process, led by inter-national political and economic decisions without reference to a global constituency, civil society, citizenship or global public opinion."
