Abstract
Over the past 20 years, Saul H. Mendlovitz has been actively engaged in research, teaching, dialogue, advocacy, and political action in the struggles for a just world peace. Recently, he has been involved in the work of the Committee for a Just World Peace (CJWP). The CJWP's primary purpose is stimulating various grass-roots, social action, and citizen movements throughout the globe to interact in ways which will contribute to the formation of a global social movement in the struggles for a just world peace.
More recently, with his initiative, the World Order Models Project in collaboration with the Soviet Political Science Association and with the cooperation of four institutes in Chile, India, Japan, and the United States, embarked on a new project called “The Coming Global Civilization: Challenges to Polity.” The project seeks to develop cross-cultural and multidisciplinary perspectives on the coming global civilization, to analyze the consequent challenges to existing forms of polity, and to articulate both a normative vision and practical guidelines for action in a period of rapid transition.
This essay is a result of these various engagements. We publish it here in the hope that it will encourage further dialogue and generate some response.
