The Universal Model: A Democratic Constitution for the Third Millennium by Will Foreman contains important proposals for the rejuvenation of modern democracies.
Addressing many of the glaring deficits that persist in the constitutions of most existing democracies, Foreman proposes a model constitution, based on a theory of democracy outlined in his previous book: Creating Democracy in Time. He asserts that this model's universal appeal is located in its ability to "meet the demands for human survival and to facilitate the evolution of the human species to higher levels of adaptive organization."
Providing a basis for the purposeful integration of local and global system goals, for the enhancement of human living conditions, and for the renewal of the Earth's biosphere, The Universal Model is an invitation to join with others in the realization of a new, democratic covenant for the coming millennium.
