A World Federalist’s Perspective
Etienne Bowie
The San Francisco Promise (SF Promise) is essentially the core project of the Democratic World Federalists organization (DWFED). The project encapsulates our mission to create a peaceful, just, and sustainable world. The common question people ask us is, how do you accomplish such a goal? World Federalists believe the answer to creating such a world requires a democratic global governance system. We do not believe in a “one world government” or authoritarian force—which many will try to claim. We world federalist or neo-federalist philosophy is the only ideology which can oppose the threats toward liberal and free world order.
After World War II, a foundation was set to build up relations between nations. This was all in the hope to unify humanity and allow for peace. The original world leaders who had created the United Nations, NATO, and global economic system didn’t live to see their project come to full fruition. What was once supposed to lead up to a world governing system, led to a world of superpowers driven to divide the world to capture market share and natural resources.
Therefore, this project was named the SF Promise, because, in 1945, the United Nations was officially established in San Francisco, California. United Nations representatives were expected to meet again in 1955 to review the charter of the United Nations, but that never happened. The Cold War and nuclear weapons had come to a point where the world had become dominated by two powers. The focus of foreign policy was directed on the capitalist-and-communist ideological war. Today, the neoliberal and authoritarian politicos have no power over the minds of the people, and this partly because of the internet. Now is the time to educate the people and let them know that there are alternatives to the current inter-national system.
We, the DWFED, present to you the San Francisco Promise San Francisco City Resolution. We plan to go from city to city to have the resolution passed until every major city has had their chance to review our resolution.
We will keep you updated, stay tuned…

We helped sponsor the SF Hearings of the U.S. Commission on Improving the Effectiveness of the United Nations (1993), and the World Congress of the World Federalist Movement (1995). Over the years we have sponsored talks on various topics related to world peace, human rights, the environment, and more, and publish articles related to the world federalist vision.
