500
million Eurocitizens
in 2020 : building
and runninga joint
democracy on a continental
scale |
Until
2010 the European Union
will consist of about
500 million citizens from
more than 20 different
countries and cultures,
speaking even more different
languages. Never before
in history such a diversified
human concoction equipped
with such a high level
of democracy has existed.
There is no archetype
describing its political
organisation, its administrative
architecture, its judicial
system, … . The
Europeans will have to
invent step by step from
the very beginning solutions
to those problems arising
from the peaceful coexistence
of all these peoples,
citizens and aspirations.
This will be all the more
necessary since democracy
itself and governance
meet a significant change
as new information technologies
emerge in the context
of what can be called
the Second Wave of Democratisation
(the first wave belonging
to the end of the 18th
/ beginning of the 19th
century).
