history
The TR was proclaimed in March 2001 in Munich. with following manifesto: »For us, the problem in the representation of citizens in the age of globalisation essentially lies in the fact that today’s system of citizen representation by nations is NATIONAL, inevitably representing NATIONAL INTERESTS. Thus nations are, by definition, not fit to represent citizens’ interests GLOBALLY. As global problems can hardly be solved without adversely affecting national interests, it is unlikely that nations will come up with global solutions. We therefore suggest a new form of global citizen representation – TRANSNATIONAL REPUBLICS....« [source: TR archive]
comment
TRis the result of an interesting shift by a group of "anti-top-down-globalizers" to form a new instrument to obtain political influence. The strategic aims of TR are very ambitious in connection with a clear future vision.
