Based on a distinction between „incomplete“, „active“ and „complete“ global domestic policy as three sequential phases in a development towards „permanent supranational institutions“, the paradigm change necessary to achieve the latter is explored. Starting from planetary boundaries and the need to manage global public goods in the best interest of humanity, weaknesses of the current international legal order are outlined, and characteristics of an alternative federal system of world law and corresponding global institutions are described. A democratic global parliament that represents all people is identified as an indispensable institution of „complete“ world domestic policy.
