Overview

Unite as one planet or perish. This is the choice humanity faces as we witness unprecedented crises: ecosystem collapse, wildlife extinction, global pandemics, terrorism, endless war, and economic inequality. Creativity can overcome crises, but what will it take to transform our world into one where peace, justice, and sustainability are planetary principles? With a comprehensive design for our living planet, The Earth Constitution Solution confronts our perilous future head-on. It shows the absurdity of the nation-state system, which gives Brazil the right to destroy the Amazon Forest - the lungs of Earth. It exposes the fundamental flaws and corruption of the New World Order and Great Reset proposed by the World Economic Forum - fractured globalization plans that would divide us and exploit our precious planet. And it reveals why the Earth Federation Movement is growing, as people realize that global problems can only be solved as a united planet. The Earth Constitution is a unifying document with a practical plan for federating Earth that can be studied and implemented by world citizens. The Earth Constitution saves what works at the United Nations and integrates it into a framework that replaces our fragmented system with a holistic design founded on global democracy. The result is a realistic and inclusive roadmap that charts a glorious future for our living planet.

The achievement of Martin's Earth Constitution Solution would mark a milestone in humankind's evolution into a true planetary species. Ervin Laszlo Our entangled world has become a single community of fate. But Earth is a failed state with no overarching constitution to bind a democratic polity. A pragmatic visionary, Martin has given us a roadmap for the long transition from chaos and crises to a flourishing and unified commonwealth. Paul Raskin, Ph.D., Founder of Tellus Institute This book is a vital presentation of the avenues to transcend the current geopolitical, conflictual structures toward a world in which individuals can develop their full potential. Rene Wadlow, President of Association of World Citizens A comprehensive and irrefutable argument for an Earth Constitution that should be compulsory reading for all presidents and prime ministers of the world - preferably as preparation for an international convention on a world constitution to replace the obsolete UN Charter. Such a convention should be held before the world's injustices combine to trigger the next world war. Ian Hackett, Co-Founder of World Federalist Party An essential guidebook for everyone seeking to unite humanity through democratic world federation. The world administration advocated by the Earth Constitution is the most complete depiction of what united humanity could look like. Eston McKeague, President of Young World Federalists Every page of this profound and illuminating book offers us seminal wisdom to guide us into the Age of Holism. Ratifying the Earth Constitution will help lead the way into this magnificent new era for our beloved planet, our vast ecosystem, and future generations that deserve a life-affirming home. Diane Williams, Founder of The Source of Synergy Foundation The Earth Constitution Solution proclaims the 'Big Idea' using academic theory at the highest level of excellence. In arguing for the Earth Constitution, Martin's logic rivals the famous Federalist Papers, drafted to gain support for the U.S. Constitution. There's plenty here for intellectuals, activists, and politicians around the world. Roger Kotila, Ph.D., President of Democratic World Federalists Many great thinkers throughout history have argued that only a democratically elected global government can solve humanity's most pressing problems and ensure global peace and prosperity. Martin is a superb spokesperson for this idea and its philosophical, scientific and moral foundation. Bob Flax, Ph.D., Executive Director of Citizens for Global Solutions The Earth Constitution Solution is an important contribution to the most critical story of our time, the movement toward genuine Earth Unity. Ben Bowler, Executive Director of Unity Earth The Earth Constitution - like the Magna Carta, Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, and Universal Declaration of Human Rights - provides a framework for peaceful and just human interaction. Transcending those historic documents, the Earth Constitution explains how we, as World Citizens, can sustainably interact with Earth and govern our world as one human family. David Gallup, Esq., President of World Service Authority A deep dive into environmental design ... and revolutionary ideas. The author makes it clear a big change is taking place, and for those interested, this book has the answers. Manhattan Book Review

Author Information

Glen T. Martin, Ph.D. is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Radford University in Virginia. He is President of the International Philosophers for Peace, Executive Director of the Earth Constitution Institute (ECI), and President of the World Constitution and Parliament Association (WCPA). ECI and WCPA are cooperating global organizations that sponsor the Constitution for the Federation of Earth and organize sessions of the Provisional World Parliament. Dr. Martin travels and lectures worldwide on behalf of the Earth Constitution, the philosophical foundations of emerging world law, and the development of a binding world court system. Dr. Martin was in college during the 1960s when the U.S. government was drafting young people into the military industrial complex. He declared himself a conscientious objector and refused to enter any organization dedicated to war, which he considers to be just another form of murder. Dr. Martin has long been a critic and resister of the dominant world system of militarized sovereign nation-states integrated with growth-based, exploitive capitalism. He has philosophically developed an alternative world federalist vision of planetary peace and justice based on the Earth Constitution. Dr. Martin has received several international peace awards, including the Gusi Peace Prize International in Manila, Philippines (2013). He has published hundreds of articles concerning freedom, peace, justice, human rights, and sustainability in popular as well as academic venues, and he is the author or editor of twelve books. Rev. Laura M. George, J.D. is a retired attorney and Executive Director of The Oracle Institute, a 501(c)(3) educational charity. Oracle serves as an Advocate for Peace and a Vanguard for Conscious Evolution, and its formal mission statement is Thomas Jefferson's Act for Religious Freedom. Oracle operates as a spiritual think-tank and studies the nexus between religion, politics, human rights, and conscious evolution. Rev. George often writes about the Trickle-Down Deity Theory, which posits that humanity's view of the Godhead necessarily defines all cultural experience. She is the author of the award-winning Oracle Trilogy: The Truth, The Love, and The Light (www.TheOracleInstitute.org). At the Peace Pentagon in Independence, Virginia, Rev. George oversees Oracle's award-winning publishing house, multi-faith spirituality school, and peacebuilding practice (www.PeacePentagon.net). The Peace Pentagon is a training and retreat center for progressive and pluralistic programs, such as Oracle's Building the New World Conferences (www.BTNW.world). The Peace Pentagon also serves as the U.S. headquarters for the Earth Constitution Institute, the heart of the Valley of Light community, and the soul of Oracle Temple, an esoteric church founded by Rev. George. Ellen H. Brown, J.D. is an attorney and founder of the Public Banking Institute, which assists municipalities in setting up banks that serve as depositories for local funds and service local community needs. She is the author of more than a dozen books and hundreds of articles. In her bestselling book Web of Debt, Ellen exposed the Federal Reserve as a private banking cartel that has usurped the people's power to create money. The book also explains how We the People can take back this power. In her latest book, The Public Bank Solution, Ellen explains how public banks are designed to operate in the public interest. She also co-hosts a radio program called It's Our Money, and she is a Fellow of the Democracy Collaborative.
