Vicious circle of non-democracy does exist globally and looks set to get worse. This does have tremendous implications for the world as a whole. This cannot be made permanent in the global geopolitical balance. There are scenarios of non-democracy nature taking place which could dangerously escalate.
We have had severe political crises in the past causing enormous damage to democracy. Democracy does have legitimate basis. Any old or new government and its actions can be a disaster if there are no right conditions on which democracy is built on.
Causing harm to social programs or lack of interests and concerns to any current political current crisis triggers something very nasty with global implications. Anyone would then not comply with international law.
We have to defend democracy as an independent foreign policy. Countries facing possible colour revolutions, maidan like revolutions, corruption revolutions, protests and so on will always be manipulative, if laws or reforms fail to take place.
With some countries who have not done so, face risks. These kinds of splits between the people and the government. The imbalance of political forces is rearing its ugly head. It becomes painfully reminiscent looking back to the past.
Democracy can promise changes, and giving the right directions in any country’s political course. Constitutions always win over any world leader even with amendments. Democracy has a right to restore any normality and without qualms, prejudices and bias including fairness and equality.
Without cooperation and good relations between Russia and European Union will certainly make a lot of people leave Europe to have a new world order with stable and secure politics.
People seeking stable and secure politics with economic prosperity will want to rely on Russia even more. Whether Europe will realise that, I do not know, but I do sense a very strong stubbornness, imperious rule and hegemony even over its own currency, reluctant to change at all, not abling to give complete fairness and equality. There are so many divisive policies. This is my prediction.
The other matter I need to address is that democracy needs to play a more powerful role not through elections, policies and constitutions.
It is the head of democracy who has to be a more powerful voice, so that the whole world listen over the world leaders. That is when any world leader is doing something wrong.
This is because playing a more powerful role will prevent such different kinds of revolutions, dissents, wars, you name them all globally.
The UN cannot do that, because it is not really a democratic institution and people are not listening to UN.
Only I can as head of democracy, can the people look up to me and listen, after they have made their voices heard instead of actions. Actions are damaging and detrimental to any country’s economy, security, stability, peace and wellbeing.
More needs to be done to address divisions between peoples and governments.
We do need a more authoritative understanding figure to put the world to rights by speaking solely to the peoples, especially on behalf of the world leaders.
Prevention of crises is the cure.
Nathalie Tocci, a special adviser to EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and deputy director of the Rome-based Institute of International Affairs. “The European Union has ignored signals of Moscow’s new strategic goals and hence it shares part of responsibility for the current strains in its relations with Russia. Suffice it to recollect [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s notorious speech at the Munich conference. The European Union’s mistake was in ignoring these signals, in overlooking these new aspects, in missing the warnings. And the Ukrainian developments took us by surprise. I do not think the chill in relations between the European Union and Russia stemmed from the European Union’s internal weakness. It developed big self-confidence having recovered from a shock of the end of the Cold War. In his speech at the Munich security conference on February 10, 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin dwelled on Russia’s role and place in the present-day world with due account of the new challenges and threats and denounced the unipolar nature of the modern global politics".
This is good news from Nathalie Tocci paving the way to a European Union’s relations with Russia are based on the principle of selective dialogue and selective cooperation with Russia. Tocci also called for Russia’s cooperation with the European Union and the West.
She also said “The European Union is ready to develop relations with Russia on the basis of the current political realities but will never go against its basic principles. One cannot but recognize the fact that the European Union and Russia are interdependent. We are neighbors and are inter-dependent from the economic, energy and other points of view. And our relations should be built in a way to avoid any growth of tensions. We, on our part, are trying to prevent the return of the Cold War. So, our task is to build relations in a constructive manner, despite differences, even the most profound ones. There is a number of issues that are already discussed by the European Union and Russia: from the problem of terrorism and migration to energy and Arctic development, as well as innovation, infrastructure development, up to visa liberalization – all of these are issues of mutual interest. On our part, we clearly word the topics we, the Europeans, are interested to have a dialogue on. Now it is important that Russia also demonstrate what it is interested in in its relations with the European Union. If we happen to have common points, they can well serve as a basis for selective cooperation. Among such principles is respect to sovereignty and territorial integrity of states. The European Union will not be able to build comprehensive relations with Russia until international law is strictly observed”.
There is only one democracy.
