The Planetary Network
The planetary network of light, love and service is transforming the mental climate of the planet, reorientating humanity to spiritual attitudes and values. The groups and activities reported in the Bulletin reflect different aspects of the network. World Public Opinion.orgWorldPublicOpinion.org is an international initiative whose aim is to “give voice to public opinion around the world on international issues”. This initiative was launched and is managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) at the University of Maryland, USA. WorldPublicOpinion.org explains: “As the world becomes increasingly integrated, problems have become increasingly global, pointing to a greater need for understanding between nations and for elucidating global norms. With the growth of democracy in the world, public opinion has come to play a greater role in the foreign policy process”. The WorldPublicOpinion.org network is a group of research centres studying public opinion on international issues in their respective countries. There are research centres in more than 25 countries in the world.
