The Transition from Western Democracy

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

Margaret Mead

In Chapter 2, I described many of the limitations inherent in the western democratic model of governance, and why this model, if left to its own evolution, would likely never evolve beyond these limitations.

In Chapter 3, I described a new model of governance—a model without political parties and without the limitations they bring to the public decision-making process.

In Chapter 4 and 5, I described two new tools we will have to learn to make this new system of governance work: consultation and the advisory board.

The next question is: “How do we move from the western democratic model to a TDG?”

This chapter outlines a possible path of transformation from a western democracy into a TDG.
