Constitutionalizing Global Governance: Exploring the Practicality of Territorially Unbounded Democratic Consensus Mechanisms in the Digital Age

Abstract

There is a distinct lack of democratic governance in our contemporary era.In this paper I develop a mechanism to overcome this democratic deficit.'The Cryptostate' is an amalgamation of primordial democratic theory and recent technological advancements.By combining democratic principles with distributed ledger technology, we can create a decentralized, transparent, governance framework in which various groups-societies, ethnicities, or nations-can communicate, coordinate, and enfranchise all affected members.Never before in human history has it been technologically feasible to create such an entity.In this article, I demonstrate that not only can such a state exist, but that in the face of our ongoing technological and global upheaval, it must.
