Students for global democracy

'''Students for Global Democracy''' is a new organization working to promote the spread of democratic government to all nations of the world. The international movement of university students, founded by Charlie Szrom and Andrew Allaby, engages in lobbying, fundraising, public education and demonstrations. Their works include aiding democratic leaders in Iraq, Belarus, Ukraine, and other countries. Among other things, the web site contains its own wiki, which provides a public space for new ideas and information in democracy promotion, nonviolent action and the history of democratization.

Degree of consistency with the global democracy concept itself

It has to be noted that the aim of Students for Global Democracy differs slightly from the Global democracy or World citizen concept, which is the idea of promoting democratic institutions for the whole World, thus of giving less importance to nations, or even considering the idea of national sovereignty as an obstacle to a full World citizenship and democracy. Rather, Students for Global Democracy focuses on supporting democratic systems in each nation, rather than specifically a singular democratic global government.
