The Paradigm Project

To assure that our work on Interdependence Day yields an ongoing, year-round program, and is rooted in serious research on democratic globalization, CivWorld has developed a substantive project aimed at fostering an international research program focused on an “affirmative globalization paradigm,”— a paradigm that will offer a philosophical foundation and practical floor for the realistic democratization of globalism.

The research program is reaching out to like-minded organizations around the world willing to engage in common research, debate, conferencing and policy making. To date, cooperating institutions include the Hertie Graduate School in Berlin, the Institute of European and Social Philosophy in Budapest, the Gunpowder Park project in London and the La Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico — their common activities being coordinated by CivWorld at Dēmos, in New York.

Other individual scholars from China, India, Italy, France, Poland, Slovenia, Morocco, Libya, Turkey, Brazil and the United States are active in the global research program.
