Many global issues – from climate change to financial crises, from migration waves to management of pandemics, to name a few – have at their root a series of structural imbalances in our economic and cultural models. To move beyond the management of the emergency, the roots of the problems need to be addressed.

Abstract

Many global issues – from climate change to financial crises, from migration waves to management of pandemics, to name a few – have at their root a series of structural imbalances in our economic and cultural models. To move beyond the management of the emergency, the roots of the problems need to be addressed. A double paradigm shift is required: a paradigm shift in cultural models and awareness and a second one concerning global rules and institutions. As for the first one, there is a need to move from a state-centric cultural and educational model to the awareness of our belonging to mankind and our shared interest in the well-being of Planet Earth. The legal and implications of such a new narrative would push humanity to manage their common heritage as global citizens through new democratic supranational and transnational models.
