Why the World Needs Global Political Parties

By Dr. Jalil Ahmad

It will not be an overstatement to say that the world we are living in is in disarray. From ever-increasing population to
lack of updated education, minuscule business/economic opportunities, poverty, environmental degradation,
terrorism, corruption, manipulated elections, and exorbitant misuse of natural resources, the world has constantly been
experiencing a devastating effect. Those who are in charge of solving these issues are busy spouting racist rhetoric
to score votes by manipulating/controlling elections and exploiting markets/resources of other nations. In Global Political Party for Self-Empowerment, Dr. Jalil Ahmad has shed light on all these issues as well as proposed a remarkable solution for people to achieve self-empowerment through updated education funded by the government, unbiased and controlled elections, and citizen's right to have access to the capital of the country. This vision is not for one country but for the
whole world. Most issues are global therefore these can be solved only by global efforts, regulations, and global
political parties. By aligning their goals and empowering their people through the fair democratic process, nations can
not only eradicate world poverty, hunger, and illiteracy but also create harmony among people and far better economic opportunities that exist now. With required updated-government funded education, citizens' access to capital, and uncontrolled elections on our planet, we can take the first step to have a more equitable, prosperous, and peaceful world.

Foreword

I have been associated with academia since the early 1980s and have taught international economic and various socio-economic policy-specific subjects at a highly renowned university.

The book Why the World Needs Global Political Parties has inspired me the most. The writer/author has rightly pointed out the lack of implementation of the current political, economic, environmental and educational policies. As a result, the world is suffering from increased unemployment, illiteracy, poverty, conflict, hunger, environmental devastation, and pandemics. Unfortunately, global issues are never on the top of political parties’ manifestoes. In countries where democracy exists, politicians make vague promises and only fulfill those, which can attract their voters for the next elections. On the other hand, in countries where autocracy or monarchy prevail, the public is never asked to participate in national and international policies.

Hence, the author urges the need for a global political party. I have to admit, despite being an avid reader for three decades, this is the first time I have come across this novel idea. I find this new concept extremely useful, inspiring, and interesting. The book first highlights the global issues and then persuasively presents the solutions. After reading the book, I am convinced that a Global Political Party would have great potential and capability to exterminate pandemics and reduce illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, hunger, and other global issues, and generate peace and harmony among countries. A few case studies from the developing world are also presented in the book that helps the reader to visualize the idea of global political party working. The author writes well with a very lucid style and keeps the readers engaged.

I highly recommend reading this book to envisage the future of a civilized and advanced political system in the digital age with effective education policy and entrepreneurship.

Reviews by Beta readers

Dr. Vincent Armanio (Oncologist):

As the world became a global village, we were thrown into a virtual reality that was entirely different from the actual one for obvious reasons. Sure it had its own advantages, but everything comes at a cost. As Dr. Jalil Ahmad has emphasized in his book Why the World Needs Global Political Parties, with everything only a tap away, the world is now more divided than ever when it should be uniting over the common issues that plague every nation. The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer. The Covid-19 pandemic has made this even more evident because the low-income countries have suffered the most in all areas, be it education, jobs, healthcare, or anything else. I really admire the solution presented by the author in this book. Many people have such ideas in their minds, but they either cannot voice them, or they think it’s just not possible. Dr. Jalil Ahmad, on the other hand, has not only presented the most needed solution in his book but also described the ways to implement it effectively. This book can indeed prove to be a game-changer in the history of politics and governance.

Shweta Singh (Social Media Strategist):

I really love how the author of Why the World Needs Global Political Parties has bravely uncovered the big fat scam of the nationalist agenda of all countries. The author has emphasized how the dictators and democrats let the public falsely believe that they are being heard and taken care of by the state and what a threat all external forces are to their existence.  But in reality, the states rip the public off of all the basic human rights of education, food, shelter and health. Each and every word in this book depicts nothing but the truth. The world has been watching for centuries the influential and wealthy people living lavish lives out of the taxpayer money yet we are not able to do anything. Amidst this mess, writing a masterpiece like this is indeed an achievement. The Global Political Party for Self-Empowerment is not targeted to any specific audience. It is for everyone who wants to see a changed and better world.

Dr. Aamir Najam (Oncologist):

I want to congratulate the author of this book for putting down the idea of a global political party in such a brilliant way. No one could have written this book any better. In my opinion, as an active environmentalist and nature conservationist, the idea is a promising one. We have seen it work exceptionally in the form of the European Union, and if entire Europe can grow out of its centuries-long debacle for mutual benefit, there should be enough hope that it would work on a global level as well. We tried it by forming the United Nations, which later fell into the wrong hands and favored the rich, but we as people are fully capable of learning from our mistakes. It is high time that we learn, as there will soon be no world for us to divide and rule if we don’t take care of the one we already have.

Tracy Smith (Journalist):

The timing of this book could not be more perfect! Every institution should have it in its library. It will prove invaluable for readers as they need to know how different what they are taught in universities is way different from reality. I thank Dr. Jalil Ahmad for penning down this book.

I have read various books about the current situation of governance in all countries. I have learned a lot from them, but at the same time, I feel many are quite superficial. However, I found Dr. Ahmad’s Why the World Needs Global Political Parties is closest to reality. In this book, He has focused on the basic issues, which affect communities at a macro-level. It is high time to look at the flaws running in our veins for decades or even centuries. Global Political Parties for Self-Empowerment, if taken seriously, will definitely change the dynamics of entire world problems.

Anthony Thomas (Fiction Writer):

A friend shared this manuscript with me. Political or socioeconomic books do not normally enthuse me. Nevertheless, I gave it a read. And I must say, I found this one so gripping and fascinating. I couldn’t put it down. The way Dr. Ahmad writes about the problems revolving around the world is both enlightening and encouraging. It’s like a ray of hope that we can overcome the struggles and disparities all the nations are currently facing. I can vouch for the success of this book once it is in the hands of the readers.

James Elton (Journalist NYT):

I’m not someone who reads any given book more than once. Global Political Parties for Self-Empowerment is one for the ages, and I’ve already read it thrice. It just seems to get better and more insightful each time around. A must-read for just about anyone and absolutely required reading for young students in our education system!

.......................

Renuka Sharma (International Relations Specialist):

I am fully in support of this innovative idea. The book Why the World Needs Global Political Parties has proposed a completely different political model – a model based on a world governed and managed by global political parties. Where new candidates with fresh perspectives will be part of the political equation. These candidates will not be selected based on their political or financial background. Instead, there will be a lottery system that will decide who will represent the public for a particular term of service. Hats off to the author for coming up with such a brilliant idea.

.......................

Dr. Emily George (Memoir Author):

The best thing about this book is that Dr. Jalil did not focus on a single dilemma; instead, he has talked about everything that has eaten up the entire global system. Along with that, he has provided excellent solutions to overcome these problems in such easy, simple language that even a person who has no knowledge about politics can understand it.

.......................

Sarah Rodriguez (Lecturer – Political Science):

First, I am happy to read something positive about the world’s dynamics as a whole.

Secondly, I would like to appreciate this book’s different yet interesting perspective. Dr. Ahmad did not only list down the global problems; he also provided practical solutions to overcome all such situations. Mr. Ahmad has written a very detailed description of our society today! The things he emphasized are issues of truth. Overall, he has done a wonderful job writing about the failures of the current administrations running in the world. Bravo, Dr. Ahmad, for a superb book! Wake up, people around the world to preserve the world we love! If someone is looking for a better world, this book should be the first pick!

.......................

Sydney Bell (Newspaper Editor):

I would hundred percent recommend this book to whoever is looking for a globally stable world. There are unique perspectives about every situation we are fighting with. The most important thing which made me fond of this book is the concept of unbiased elections in the GPPS. There is a need for such a party because democracy can only be seen in books, but it is high time we take steps to become responsible natives of our respective nations. As quoted in this book, We need to replace career politicians with policymakers in our renewed democracy.

Why?

Because we need to step up for the world’s wellbeing as a whole.

Dr. Ayesha Osmani (Gynecologist):

I am completely in support of the ideation of this book, i.e., the creation of global parties, which can resolve various problems revolving in almost every part of the world. If you have struggled to understand what’s going on in the world around you and how the essential elements of different communities are being laid down, this is the book to read. Indeed, it is an original concept in a clear, concise, and on-point presentation style, very helpful in explaining the minds running the giant government systems.
