Foreign policy rethought Do you sometimes worry that globalisation is doing you more damage than good? And do you also wish for a similar standard of living for all humans in this world? What kind of policy can unify states without war and avoid the causes of flight? This book tells us: ... how an International Union can look like, in which states - depending on the willingness of their peoples - gradually unify their actions and unite democratically. ... how underdeveloped countries are developed one after the other through education and infrastructure so that the population there can help itself. ... how to reduce transnational exploitation and crime and build the united states of the world. After 20 years of work on this book series, Andreas Seidl thus ventures a step towards founding a party. In doing so, he entertains his readers both intellectually and visionarily. If this work can give you hope, inspire you or move you to action, it has fulfilled its purpose. Available in German and English

Foreword
This policy concept contains a variety of proposals for possible political reforms. It can be peacefully and democratically adapted to any current political system of any state in the world, but also to political systems in families, clubs, associations or companies. Wherever humans make or submit to rules that manage living together, the following proposals can be helpful. Readers who find the proposals so helpful that they would like to implement them together with like-minded people can contact the author. The contact form on the last page can be used for this purpose.
Faults and defects
I ask for your understanding that this volume was not professionally proofread. I could only afford professional proofreading for the summary. Spelling errors and unfortunate phrasing may therefore occur. As soon as this volume has sold enough to pay for a professional proofreading, it will be done. After that, a new edition will be published.
English version
Please understand that this volume has been translated automatically. I could only afford a professional translation for the summary. Poor wording and spelling errors may therefore occur. In case of doubt, the German version shall prevail. As soon as this volume has sold enough to pay for a professional translation, it will be done. After that, a new edition will be published. It was more important to me that no one in the world should have an information advantage than individual translation errors in the complete work.

1 Goals of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The aim of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to remedy the negative consequences of international anarchy, imperialism and industrialisation in order to subsequently reconcile the world’s population in a federal state.
The goals of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are peace, freedom, protection against exploitation, equitable globalisation, the spread of dynamic media democracy and the empowerment of humanity to govern itself directly democratically. Peace is achieved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through peace treaties, freedom through the dismantling of border fortifications and protection against exploitation is ensured through regularisation of guest work, tariffs, import and export restrictions. Equitable globalisation is ensured by an international policy that adapts to the speed of integration of each people. The peoples express their speed of integration through committees and voting on international agreements and quotas of foreign nationals. By obliging states in the dynamic media democracy to involve other affected peoples in their decision-making, these peoples come to know and appreciate the dynamic media democracy. By standardising international measures for communitarisation in an International Union, democratic political structures and processes are introduced at the international level. The aim is to democratise international legislation, jurisprudence, mediation and execution until humanity has the voting right to govern itself collectively.
The aim of embassies and representations abroad is the diplomatic and later democratic negotiation of agreements with foreigners. These agreements serve the purpose of communitarisation and the creation of international law. The aim of communitarisation is world peace and the integration of states towards a single directly democratically controlled state in the world.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs aims to better protect humanity from natural disasters through an international policy of regional self-sufficiency. Regions or continents are therefore able to support themselves independently with direct goods such as food and medicine, electricity, water and housing. Power plants can also remain switched off in regions as long as the regions on the equator supply solar power, but they must be available for emergencies. If a volcano erupts or the earth shakes, no region should collapse and at worst then create a domino effect because the degree of division of labour between the regions has become so great.
2 Departments
The departments are divided into sub-departments and enumerations are usually considered as their individual units. Many tasks of some departments are completely taken over by other ministries as a service.
2.1 Central Department
Part of the Central Department is the Reception Office with the Courier and Mail Room, which directs all concerns, broadcasts and visitors to the appropriate place in the ministry.
2.1.1 Staff
The Human Resources Department is responsible for staff development and planning. For this purpose, it takes care of recruitment of junior staff, intern and trainee programmes, as well as selection procedures for employees and special selection procedures for applicants with disabilities. For politicians and employees, the department prepares a job plan. In all its tasks, it works in voting with the personnel board.3
All other personnel matters are transferred to the relevant ministries. The Ministry of Education is responsible for the training and further education of employees for the state service.4 The Ministry of Labour takes over the service law.5 This includes labour and collective bargaining law for employees in the state service, remuneration, personnel administration of all careers and employees, flexitime, holiday and sick leave, working time with or without flexitime in part-time or full-time at the place of work or in home work. The Ministry of Infrastructure provides housing assistance for all state employees.6 The Ministry of Finance’s Pay Office takes care of employees’ salary, expenses, travel and relocation costs.7 The Ministry of Education provides childcare for all employees in the state service.8

The ministries of media, security, justice, finance, labour, state organisation provide audit services for quality management in the ministry, evaluation of work performance, revenues and expenditures, as well as prevention of corruption, protection against sabotage and, if necessary, disciplinary matters.12
The Ministry of Labour regulates procurement law and ensures corruption-free state orders and procurement.13 The Ministry of Finance organises the annual budget vote and ensures proper accounting in each ministry.14 It regulates budget procedures, budget law, staff budgets, departmental budgets, costs and cash management, and assists ministries in budget planning for the budget vote. The language service for translating talks or texts is provided by the Ministry of Education.15
The Ministry of Digital Affairs supports the supply of Information Technology.16 In voting with the Procurement Office of the Ministry of Labour, it takes care of the procurement, provision, maintenance and service of technical devices and software. Much of this is produced in-house to ensure data protection in information and communication technology. Information technology and digitalisation officers audit and advise the ministries. Digital appointment calendar and documentation services are provided as well as a digital policy archive including a library.
2.2 Management Department
The Management Department is the minister’s department. With his office team, he provides policy planning and analysis for his ministry and coordinates the relationship between the nation and the municipality through exchanges with his deputies in the municipalities. He initiates cooperation with other ministries or citizens in committees and is supported by the Ministry of State Organisation.
The Ministry of Media Affairs, through its media service, provides press and public relations for the ministry, moderates civil dialogue, trains or provides a spokesperson for the minister, writes speeches and texts on request, and ensures the implementation of conferences and events.17
The Ministry of Digital Affairs is responsible for digital management and thus provides departmental management. It automatically produces business statistics, staff surveys and the current state of research through statistics. It automatically forwards proposals to the affected or empowered state employees. In document management, it ensures digitalisation and that ministries share forms with each other.18

The Foreign Department is responsible for the rules of foreign affairs and communitarisation and their implementation by domestic citizens ministries. It oversees the Foreign Office, embassies, representations and operates the Travel Directory19 . In cooperation with the Ministry of Education, it operates the Institutes for Peace and Conflict Studies and Communitarisation. It coordinates their cooperation with other ministries and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It drafts laws on the basics of negotiating international treaties, supranational laws in diplomatic and democratic negotiations, and on the structure and procedures in an International Union.
2.4 European Department
The European Department coordinates the services of the Foreign Office for all other ministries as far as European policy is concerned. In cooperation with the affected ministers, it prepares draft legislation on the structure of the European institutions and their democratised functioning. Templates for European policy content are forwarded by the individual ministers via the European Department to the Representations to the European Union and introduced into the European legislative process. As the responsible ministry, the European Department develops the templates for European Union foreign policy in voting with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The staff of the European Department ensure that a communitarisation of states in the sense of an International Union can be carried out. If current European policy affects a ministry’s portfolio, the Foreign Office informs the ministries affected. If ministries wish to promote projects at the European level, the European Department establishes contact with the representations to the European Union. If projects of ministries affect or could violate applicable European Union law, the Representations to the European Union use specialist lawyers to examine the facts of the case and advise the ministries affected. The Representation to the European Union regularly informs all affected ministries about all new and ongoing European Union funding programmes.
The European Department, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, runs an European Union College for the further training of affected employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and for European Affairs Officers of other ministries as well as for workers designated to work in the European Union institutions.
The European Department decides on external relations20 , foreign trade21 , maritime affairs: External Relations: Agreements and Strategies22 , Customs Agreements with Non-European Union Countries and International Conventions23 , Foreign and Security Policy24 (all except Common Security and Defence Policy CSDP), Internal Market , Development Aid 2526 and Enlargement27 , whether to adopt, adapt or reject existing European Union law.
2.5 International Department
The International Department is responsible for ensuring that ministries comply with international law. If necessary, draft amendments are developed with the foreign minister and forwarded to the embassies or representations. The International Department oversees the democratisation of international law and the handling of international law by the ministries. It exchanges information with all embassies and representations in order to report regularly to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. It prepares templates for the bases of communitarisation and unification of states on continents and around the world. This includes the handling of the institutions of the United Nations and other international organisations or intergovernmental agreements. The individual ministries submit their templates for international policies to the International Department, which forwards them to the appropriate representation to the international organisation or to the embassies in the affected countries.
The staff ensures that all foreign affairs developments in the policy sections of all ministries from around the world are compiled and summarised by the embassies. At regular intervals, they are forwarded by the Foreign Office to the responsible ministries. If ministries wish to contact the foreign ministries, the Foreign Office establishes contact through its embassies.
2.6 Development Department
The Development Department ensures cooperation with the ministries of infrastructure, education, labour, health, digital and integration for development aid and asylum application procedures. It runs the Institute for Development Aid and oversees its own, European and international aid. It recruits and supervises development workers. In the event of a disaster, it sets up a temporary working group. It prepares draft legislation for the Minister of Foreign Affairs and oversees compliance with the rules of its own, European and international development policy. It coordinates cooperation between the embassies and the Integration Agency in asylum procedures. When voting takes place in a developing country, the Development Department works with the ministries of state organisation, education, media and digital affairs to set up and oversee procedures.

3 Tasks of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for all foreign affairs. For this purpose, it maintains authorities that enable the state to act internationally. All international negotiations of the state must be democratically approved by the people. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is responsible for this. The main task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the democratic communitarisation of law and ministries on the continents and throughout the world. The task is considered fulfilled when the states unify until only one state remains.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs fulfils the task of democratising the European Union and the United Nations in the sense of an international Union, both in terms of structures and processes as well as in the previously communitarised policy areas. The task is fulfilled as soon as all European states unify and later all states worldwide. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs supports other states in communitarisation on their continent.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs ensures that international law and European Union law can be applied in the ministries and can be democratically voted out and renewed by the people. Together with all responsible ministries, influence is exerted on European or international policy areas.
Peacekeeping is a task that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs fulfils by concluding peace treaties with as many states as possible. In this way, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also ensures a worldwide reduction in military costs.
Development aid is also a task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It identifies unsafe countries of origin and developing countries and supports them with aid. Development aid begins inland and works its way through neighbouring countries to all affected member states of the European Union. International development aid is limited to emergency humanitarian aid. European development aid for Africa is increasingly developing this continent.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has the task of enabling affected humans to apply for asylum. In its embassies, it ensures the safe processing of the asylum application procedure through local knowledge. In doing so, it receives requirements from the Ministry of Integration regarding existing capacities inland.
Ultimately, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has the task of abolishing itself. This is due to the fact that development aid and asylum provide help for self-help, which makes further aid unnecessary afterwards. Through communitarisation, there are fewer foreign ministries because the number of states is reduced, until eventually there are no more foreigners.
4 Foreign affairs28
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for foreign affairs. These are communitarisation, European policy, international policy, development aid and asylum, as well as all concerns of other ministries with foreign countries. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains the Foreign Office, which is responsible for domestic cooperation with ministries and municipalities. Abroad, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains embassies which ensure cooperation with the state and its responsible offices. Unlike the other ministries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have offices in town halls. The deputy foreign ministers are the ambassadors and representatives who are directly elected. The Foreign Office has its headquarters in the capital city of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It maintains groups of negotiators as diplomats who specialise in negotiations for the various ministries’ remits and foreign affairs.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs is responsible for involving the people in international treaties or supranational laws agreed between the inland and foreign countries. The rights of participation include all voting rights that also apply to legislation, whether international treaties or supranational laws. These are namely the veto quorum, the repeal quorum or the counter-proposal.29 In order to be able to exercise these rights appropriately, all international treaties and supranational laws are filmed and broadcast on government television .30

4.1 International treaties31
International treaties are all treaties between the state and another state or foreigner company. International treaties do not have a monopoly on the use of force to guarantee them, so they are not laws. International treaties regulate the responsibilities of security agencies and courts. In some cases, responsibilities are assigned to a country, shared, or security agencies or courts are created specifically to oversee compliance with the treaty. Peoples with whose state or company an international treaty is concluded must at least vote on the negotiated treaty text before it becomes valid. For this to happen, 65% of those entitled to vote must be in favour. If the foreign minister so requests, his or her people are also involved in the negotiation of the treaty text.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs is responsible for signing international treaties after the ministries involved have given their approval and a majority of the affected peoples have expressed their support. As a result of the treaties, amendments to laws or bills may become necessary. The Foreign Office is responsible for initiating and supervising this process of ratification, i.e. incorporation into national law, at the ministry responsible.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs may issue regulations that bring about the immediate implementation of international agreements that have already been approved by a majority of the affected peoples. These regulations are limited in time until the responsible ministry submits a corresponding law and the people agree to it by a majority. Regulations are only permissible if it is in the interest of the country to bring about immediate implementation.
4.2 Supranational laws
Supranational laws are requirements that have arisen in an International Union. All member states of this International Union agree on requirements and have a common jurisdiction for their International Union. Supranational laws can only arise in communitarised ministries that are in the middle ring of International Union integration. They become national laws as soon as the member states move into the inner ring and establish a federal state. In an International Union, all peoples always have a right of co-determination that corresponds to that of the legislative process, as do the majority ratios.32
4.3 Diplomatic negotiations
At the international level, anarchy still prevails, i.e. the law of the militarily strongest. The aim of this ministry is to change that. At the international level, diplomatic conditions predominate. Negotiations that have to be conducted diplomatically, i.e. in secret, can more easily cost the Foreign Minister his office. All other ministers can call votes or committees. The Foreign Minister can only ask foreign negotiators to conduct the negotiations in public with him or ask other peoples to vote.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with its diplomats, is responsible for conducting international negotiations and caring for international relations that are not conducted within the framework of the International Union. All foreigners working inland are regularly invited to events for the Diplomatic Corps to get to know each other better.
The diplomats of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs conduct diplomatic negotiations mainly at international conferences, intergovernmental events and summits. All diplomats involved adhere to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. It contains rules on the negotiating methods, accreditation and immunity of diplomats.33
Diplomatic negotiations are secret and conducted by diplomats. If politicians conduct diplomatic negotiations, the people can obtain disclosure or participation through a veto quorum. The foreign minister is liable for all the secret results of negotiations. Decisions made diplomatically only become effective when the majority of the affected population has agreed. This applies to both the own and the other population. If the government of the affected country does not want to hold a referendum, its own population can accept or reject the diplomatic decision. Diplomatic decisions that are to lead to communitarisation must be subject to direct democratic voting by the peoples involved
4.3.1 Diplomats
Diplomats have a duty to behave diplomatically in negotiations. This means that they must be willing to compromise, recognise the intentions and wishes of the negotiating partners and reconcile them with the intentions and wishes of their own state. This harmony should put each Negotiator in a better position after the negotiations than before. In negotiations, diplomats look for So-called win-win situations that increase the benefits of the negotiating partners for as long as possible. Diplomatic behaviour avoids cornering or exposing other negotiating partners.34
Diplomats assume representational duties in the international relations of globalisation. Politicians from the member states take over foreign policy in international unifications. Diplomats support the communication of politicians from different states and federal levels as well as with civil society, which is organised in associations.
Diplomacy connects the international level with the national and municipal levels. Diplomats assume a communication function that informs democratically elected politicians of their mutual interests in such a way that the politicians can agree on legally binding agreements between states or municipalities and cities of different states and have them voted on by the affected peoples or inhabitants of municipalities. Diplomacy promotes internal exchanges between politicians and administers them through diplomats working in several policy remits of several states.35
Diplomats are envoys of states to deliver news, namely Foreign Office negotiators and embassy staff. They treat the contents of the news confidentially and, as bearers, are not liable for its content. Therefore, diplomats enjoy immunity worldwide in the course of their diplomatic activities in order to be able to guarantee the delivery of news at all times. Diplomats are becoming less important as communications and Information Technology digitalise the delivery of news. Moreover, the territorial state is increasingly disappearing in favour of continental states and eventually a world state. While diplomats work for international unifications, ministers and their deputies are those who work in an International Union. Democratic structures and processes apply in an International Union as integration progresses towards the inner ring. While diplomats still work in the outer ring, they lose their importance in the middle ring as soon as the ministry for whose remit they are responsible becomes communitarised.
4.4 Democratic negotiations36
All diplomatic negotiations are democratised in such a way that their treaty text is submitted to the voting of the affected peoples before it can enter into force. The Ministry of Media Affairs is responsible for filming the treaty text and broadcasting it on Government Television. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strives to conduct as many international negotiations democratically as possible. This means that the negotiation steps correspond to the political processes for legislation. The political processes in an International Union are fundamentally democratic and not diplomatic. The majority proposal prevails and special rules are made for minorities. Unlike diplomats, politicians can be deselected by the people at any time.37
Politicians are entitled to request opinions from diplomats, which they can disclose to citizens. Citizens have the right to request opinions from the Minister of Foreign Affairs or to set up a committee, which they can do by means of a veto quorum.38 If a citizen’s personal or professional interests are affected or customs arrangements are made, the Minister of Foreign Affairs must convene a committee. Committees on Customs agreements determine the amount of tariffs and the trade goods to be paid duty on. The people vote on this and can change the level of tariffs as part of the budget vote .39
Municipalities can conclude international treaties with other foreigner municipalities through democratic negotiations if they administer the necessary responsibility for this on a municipal level.40 The Ministry of Media Affairs must also film these inter-municipal treaties and broadcast them on Government Television. The people can prevent the citizens of a municipality from concluding a treaty through a veto quorum if the treaty would be contrary to national laws or the common good of the people. Municipalities may cooperate with offices of other states and must regularly inform the citizens about this cooperation. The Ministry of Media Affairs is responsible for preparing the information in videos and texts and publishing it on Party Television41 and on the intranet. This allows citizens to trigger the veto quorum in case of doubt in order to involve themselves or the foreign minister in the cooperation.
Democratic negotiations are public and are not necessarily conducted by elected politicians with elected persons. At any time during the negotiation process, the population has the possibility to stop or change the negotiations. This happens when a quorum of 30% of the population triggers a voting. The question to be asked is: “Should the negotiations continue, be democratised or broken off?” The answer options by cross are: “continue __ democratise __ break off __”. In diplomatic negotiations, democratising means that an elected person should lead the negotiations. In democratic negotiations, the negotiations must then continue as a show on Government Television with audience participation.42 Negotiations are conducted by several elected moderators43 and one or more elected politicians in a public debate.44
The population can demand more democratic political processes through a quorum. In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this applies, for example, to aid deliveries, trade agreements or treaties on European integration.
4.5 Speed of integration
The dissolution of boundaries through globalisation must match its speed to the speed of integration of the humans of different cultures and regions. Peoples and municipalities express their speed of integration in committees and voting on international agreements and quotas of foreign nationals.45 Governments base their actions on this. In the process, the speed of immigration and communitarisation is adapted to the population with the slowest speed of integration, because otherwise these humans will feel left behind and rebel.
Many states used national consciousness to create a kind of family cohesion among their population. The aim is to replace this with constitutional patriotism. It is developed out of joy in the society in which one lives, because one is proud of the rules set together for peaceful coexistence as a people.
In the past, many flags displayed many banners of the powerful. Flags are interchangeable and will disappear from consciousness after generations have passed unless they last the centuries in cultural protection areas. In this way, it is possible to dismantle borders over about 10 generations until a networks of direct democracy spans the earth to regulate and control the real and digital traffic of living beings, goods and information for the benefit of all. Administrative costs will be reduced and all humans will unite their forces to quickly and cheaply find space on other planets before life on Earth is no longer possible. The goal is to ensure the survival of humanity through a family life with 1 to 3 children, whereby the generation sequence can be shortened or extended.

4.6 Foreign Office
All domestic services that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provides for other ministries are handled by the Foreign Office. This office also coordinates the state’s geostrategic decisions and votes on them with the domestic population.
The Foreign Office has the best negotiators in the country. They all make the appointments that ambassadors make when it comes to concluding political or economic agreements. The negotiators specialise in communitarisation through diplomacy and democracy, as well as in one of the topics of European policy, international policy, development aid, asylum or a ministry’s remit. Negotiators are suitably matched to negotiate strategic foreign projects.
The Foreign Office oversees the travel and visit programmes of domestic diplomats and politicians to foreign countries as well as foreign diplomats and politicians coming to the inland. Visits by heads of state, heads of government and foreign ministers are governed by an international protocol organised by Foreign Office staff. The protocol includes the hosting of diplomatic and consular visitors and includes social events in function rooms of the responsible ministries and assistance at airports. Travel conditions can be comfortable or easy, depending on how much money the people allocate to the Foreign Office in the budget vote for this service provision.46
During domestic visits, personnel status issues are clarified for all fellow travellers in order to be able to issue visas for the duration of stay, protocol passes for the area of responsibility and accreditations for the events.
4.7 Embassies
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains an embassy in every country in the world as a diplomatic or democratic representation. There is no embassy in countries that refuse to do so. As a matter of principle, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not refuse to maintain an embassy in a country. Even if relations with a country are broken off as a punitive measure, the embassy remains as a peace offering to resume negotiations. Only if the lives of the embassy staff are threatened is the embassy closed. The government of the affected country is invited to contact the Minister of Foreign Affairs at any time to resume peaceful relations. It maintains a representation for each international unification and International Union. Representations are not called embassies because they do not serve states.
When own diplomats and politicians visit a foreign country or an international unification or union, all fellow travellers are looked after by the embassy. The support includes accommodation, meals, transport and staff status issues. Depending on the staff status during the visits, appropriate visas for the duration of the stay, protocol passes for the area of responsibility and accreditations for the events are organised.
Ambassadors are politicians directly elected by the people from the foreign party. Their new election can additionally be obtained by a quorum of the domestic population. For this purpose, 60% of the domestic population must express their wish for the deselection of the incumbent ambassador with their passport at the embassy or one of its consulates. In the case of representations to an international club or unification, a majority of 60% of all the peoples of the states involved is required.
Embassies are not connected to the intranet because it would be too risky to be spied on or infected here. The data is transmitted in encrypted form via satellite or the Internet and fed into the intranet or output by the Ministry of Digital Affairs.
4.7.1 Representations to international organisations
Representations to international organisations are not considered embassies because they do not work for a sovereign state but for an international organisation. They establish contacts between domestic and foreign ministries, companies and international organisations. International organisations, such as the United Nations, G20 or OECD, conclude treaties. During the initiation, negotiation, signing and review of the implementation of international treaties, the representations support and advise the domestic contractual partners. In particular, when the Foreign Office sends negotiators, the representation informs them about the current status of the international organisation and supports them in the negotiations.
4.7.2 Representations to International Unions
The representations to the International Union coordinate the communitarisation of all member states. In individual groups, all ministries that are communitarised are looked after. In cooperation with the embassies for the countries, the ministries of the member state are looked after. In cooperation with the Foreign Office, the domestic ministries are looked after. The Representation is responsible for briefing Foreign Office negotiators and assisting them in negotiations. It thus takes over the task of the Federal Moderator’s Office47 , in order to ensure supranational political processes in the structures of the International Union.
The representations to the global Union, i.e. the United Nations, and the representation to the European Union, i.e. the European Union, coordinate their voting. The representations make sure that responsibilities are clearly separated by remit so that voters can easily identify the responsible politician.
