• expand mundialization in a different way to economic globalization and make people closer, more united and protected.
• have it reach all fields of activity and knowledge, not only the economic one, even if that one is crucial to develop the well-being of world citizens.
• give world citizens a democratic access (e.g., presidential voting for United Nations Secretary-General by citizens and direct election of members of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly) and a say to those global activities.

Supporters of the democratic globalization movement draw a distinction between their movement and the one most popularly known as the 'anti-globalization' movement, claiming that their movement avoids ideological agenda about economics and social matters.
