A12 - Reinventing Politics

Introduction
LE PAPILLON SOURCE EL4DEV is a Think and Do Tank
that proposes an innovative and bold approach to politics. By
integrating principles of international cooperation,
sustainable development, and citizen engagement, this ideas
and actions laboratory aims to transform traditional political
structures into more ethical, inclusive, and sustainable
models. Here’s how EL4DEV reinvents politics.
1. Societal Diplomacy
Decentralized Cooperation

Network of Municipalities: EL4DEV promotes a
model
of
decentralized
cooperation
where
municipalities play a central role in implementing
local and international policies. Initiatives such as
"THE MUNICIPALITIES COUNTER-ATTACK" allow
small communities to join forces to fund and execute
large-scale projects.
People-to-People Diplomacy: Unlike traditional
diplomacy, which is often limited to government
interactions, EL4DEV encourages societal diplomacy,
directly involving citizens and communities in
diplomatic and decision-making processes.
