One step towards Political Excellence on European level would be an approach to improve the EU system within its framework. Franck Biancheri proposes the establishment of a trans-European political party with one party programme in all member states to run for European elections.

From a Christian perspective, the quest for political excellence is described as a moral imperative, as the concept is attached to the ethical foundations of politics: peace, justice and prosperity for the people. Participation of civil society in politics and of politicians in society is highlighted as crucial.

From a development studies perspective, the author takes a different look on institutional arrangements. According to him, debates on Political Excellence should consider innovative interpretations from developing countries more strongly. Moreover, he takes in a critical perspective on management-driven international aid. For him, the central question is about power relationships between citizens and organisations.
