It identifies practical, peaceful, and evolutionary ways to establish the legal status of world citizenship in a post-nation-state world, governed on the basis of world citizenship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe work is divided into four main parts. Section one covers the main influences that could lead people into embracing world citizenship. Section two delves into how life evolves when one sees themselves as a world citizen and the concrete changes one may undertake with such worldviews. Section three then explores the broader notion of what it actually means to be a world citizen, the history of this notion and how to make it a reality in an era of declining democracy, rising authoritarianism and environmental catastrophe. The book ends by outlining where we need to go as a human species if we are to survive well into the distant future.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBiography\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor(s):\u003c\/span\u003e \n\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScott Leckie is a writer, international human rights legal expert and founder of www.onenessworld.org, a global not-for-profit NGO dedicated to world citizenship and improved global governance.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReviews\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Scott Leckie’s latest book World Citizenship does many things - not the least of which to call for the next step in our collective political evolution from nation-state-based citizenship to a planet of world citizens. His elucidation of not only why this is necessary but also how we can achieve this is novel, ground-breaking and visionary. The book’s core thesis confronts the multinational powers and authoritarian states that currently prey upon the poor and calls for a new and supremely logical system of global governance and law based on the shared attributes of the human race as a whole. This may appear to be a radical idea but if it is carefully pursued and then achieved, it may just save our planet. This book is a roadmap to saving millions of lives and healing the globe on which we all live. Read it and save the world.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Skye Fitzgerald, 2x Academy® Award Nominee and World Citizen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"In a world increasingly interconnected yet divided by borders, Scott Leckie proposes a radical vision: world citizenship for all. This book challenges the entrenched system of nation-states, advocating for a unified political framework where every person, regardless of origin, has equal rights and a voice in decision-making. By transcending nationalism, Scott offers a path toward tackling climate change, inequality, and authoritarianism. The book is a call for a new global movement—one that empowers all people to shape a sustainable, equitable future.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Reed Brody, Author, To Catch a Dictator\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"For many years Scott Leckie has been working and fighting for human rights. His most important concern has oppressed people who had lost their homes. Without human beings such as him, these people would have had no chance to gain their rights. Respect and empathy are words which came into my mind thinking of his life-long battle against injustice. In these days when democracy is under fire from Trump to Erdogan and Netanyahu or even was destroyed like in Russia, Scott Leckie and his work give us some hope that there is still a possibility for change for the better. Open your mind. That’s all he is asking us. Let’s go for it!\"\u003cbr\u003e- Jürgen Walter, Former Green Party member of Parliament in the German State of Baden-Württemberg and former State Secretary of Culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Scott Leckie has spent his career pushing the peripheral to the center of international attention especially in the field of human rights law.
