Why does the Baha'i community give such importance to the development of its institutions? The address published in this booklet gives an insight into this question. It looks at the framework for decentralized global governance that Baha'u'llah prescribed as a prerequisite for peace. This framework is demonstrated in action by the administrative institutions of the Baha'i community. The Baha'i model can be observed, reviewed, and evaluated by anyone interested in examining it. What will become apparent is the Baha'i system is ideologically neutral so there is no impediment to its transference to the secular world. Thus Baha'is believe that eventually it will be widely adopted as peoples everywhere become increasingly disillusioned with the current systems.
