This book represents the first time the Constitution for the Federation of Earth has been appeared in print from an official press with its own ISBN number. The Constitution was developed by a drafting committee of 25 persons with feedback from hundreds of world citizens over a period of 33 years from 1968 to 1991. In this premiere edition, Glen T. Martin has written a substantive historical introduction situating the Earth Constitution within the world federalist movement of the past 80 years, an extensive commentary on the Constitution that explains the significance of its 19 articles one by one, and a conclusion in which he discusses the larger meaning of the Constitution and the Earth Federation Movement that promotes it. The book includes bibliography and index as well as a number of appendices containing the relevant documents surrounding the Constitution and the Earth Federation Movement.

The Anatomy of a Sustainable World breaks new ground in the struggle for a transformed world system. This book examines the roots and the deadly consequences of our current unsustainable civilization as manifested in its war-system, nation-state system, and global economic system. Together these portend disaster for our planet-unless we make profound systemic changes. This book illuminates both the roots of our present crisis and the concrete and practical steps we can take to transform civilization to sustainable principles. It does not rest in the realm of theory alone. It shows in detail what a sustainable world system looks like. It presents the specific political and economic steps we can take to make sustainability a reality.

Volume One of Emerging World Law exhibits international law maturing into world law through world constitutional and parliamentary processes. Self-governing democratic systems emerge globally under the direction of world citizens who take initiative, insisting on human dignity, individual accountability, and peaceful world relations.

The volume also includes the memorials, resolutions, and legislative summaries of the Provisional World Parliament during its first ten sessions, 1982 to 2007. Dr. Terence Amerasinghe recounts the 50 year history of the World Constituent Assemblies and the Provisional World Parliament.

This book develops a philosophical framework for democratic world law by drawing on the scientific revolutions of the twentieth century, the history of philosophy of law, and contemporary discussions of law, democracy, and human rights. It examines the legitimacy of the dominant institutions in the contemporary world (monopoly capitalism and the nation-state system) and points beyond these destructive, fragmenting institutions to a holistic approach for human affairs. It concludes by developing the parameters and the likely consequences of a conversion to democratic world law for protecting the environment and human rights as well as creating a world system of peace and prosperity for everyone on Earth.

Triumph of Civilization examines the concept of democracy and the related concept of nonviolence in the light of the global crises we face at the dawn of the 21st century. It develops a deeper understanding of democracy that is inherently nonviolent and fundamentally holistic. It analyzes our contemporary world in terms of both current forms of democracy and the extent of its violence, showing that our contemporary civilization is both profoundly undemocratic and intrinsically violent. It shows the way out of our current set of interdependent crises through establishing an Earth Federation that actualizes, under a world constitution, the three most fundamental features of authentic democracy: positive freedom, reasonable economic equality, and a global community premised on the many "human universals" that we all share as well as the common good of the Earth and future generations.

Ascent to Freedom develops a philosophical framework for democratic world law by drawing on the scientific revolutions of the twentieth century, the history of philosophy of law, and contemporary discussions of law, democracy, and human rights. It traces the history of the philosophy of law from ancient times to the present, showing the progressive development of democratic thought that culminates in the imperative for global democracy. It examines the legitimacy of the dominant institutions in the contemporary world (monopoly capitalism and the nation-state system) and points beyond these destructive, fragmenting institutions to a holistic approach for human affairs. It concludes by developing the parameters and the likely consequences of a conversion to democratic world law for protecting the environment and human rights as well as creating a world system of peace and prosperity for everyone on Earth. Ascent to Freedom lays out both the practical and conceptual foundations for a transformed world order that can deal directly with our multiple global crises while creating peace and prosperity on Earth.

This book contains the most fundamental documents of the emerging Earth Federation together with extensive commentary, analysis, and description. It analyzes our fragmented world order in depth and shows the way forward toward a transformed world of freedom, justice, peace, and prosperity. The entire volume investigates our multi-faceted global crises on planet Earth and presents the many reasons why the only practical solution to today's catastrophic world-disorder is ratification of the Constitution for the Federation of Earth.

This volume includes a Spanish translation of the Manifesto of the Earth Federation by Glen T. Martin together with a Spanish version of the Constitution for the Federation of Earth. The Manifesto was approved by the Provisional World Parliament as an official statement of the Parliament. It contains an in-depth analysis of the present world system showing how and why there is growing poverty, environmental destruction, war, and other disastrous tendencies. It shows the ways in which the Earth Constitution can address these problems to make the Earth a decent home for all persons. The Constitution was written through a process of four global Constituent Assemblies and reached its final form at the Fourth Assembly in Troia, Portugal in 1991. Together, these documents provide a compelling "road map" for humanity to move into a decent, just, and sustainable future.
