Diplomat (Omni Shoreham)
Westphalia's world, in which the subjects of self-government were well defined, is over. We live in a world where we seem to be governed by others, especially in Europe, which is not a temporary situation but a democratic requirement when our decisions determine the future of others. Is there any way to make it just that inevitable other-determination? Democratize the side-effects of our decisions requires the institutionalisation of reciprocity. Democracy is not more possible in only one country, today less than never.
