Jacques Attali, who was appraised as “a scholar with such wit, imagination and drive who will be difficult to match in the future” by American writer and futurist Alvin Toffler presents 10 strategies of future governments in his book “Who Will Govern the World?” which he published last year.

Among these strategies, he suggests for us to awaken to the reason for humanity’s existence, sharpen our antennas to danger, follow existing international law and sustainable development conferences, etc. Among these strategies, what really intrigued me was “des etats generaux du monde,” the establishing of a world government. He explains that such a government can eradicate dictators, criminals, and plutocrats and allow for the world citizens to voice out their opinions and express their hopes, desires and anger.

However, Jacques Attali did say, “If there are no economic resources, then there can be no action and if authenticity is not secured, economic resources cannot be provided. If no one has will, authenticity cannot be secured and if people do not recognize problems as their own, humanity will be absent of will.” He also emphasizes, “It’s a great opportunity to realize that the design of a world government must not act as a pretext or excuse blocking us from helping our closest neighbors. The world starts when we walk together and work for our closest neighbors.

Attali is a thundering cry to those who are skeptical towards the possibility of realizing “des etats generaux du monde.” We are the reason his plan is impossible. In order to realize “des etats generaux du monde,” we must first believe it is possible.

To once again announce the beginning of the AsiaN’s launching of the Arabic edition, I thought it would be meaningful to share some wisdom from this great Algerian scholar.
