So we are just going to get the same scenario, thus nothing changes. Infact I feel that the major alliances will only get stronger and the others well just disappear as usual and have no way to compete as they dont have any isk or anything on the scale of the already larger alliances.
It seems you're assuming that Dust should allow weak entities to take space from strong ones.
This is completely false. Dust is a way to enrich gameplay, and attrack more players into the Eve universe, nothing more.
Also, you're missing something important. Money is a tool, it make things more convenient, but if you lose a war, it's not because the other one has more money. For examples, you could check the histories of Fountain Alliance, ASCN, BoB, and many more. All very, very rich, to the point money wasn't any signifiant factor, all all have been defeated, often be poorer alliances.
War in Eve is simply a contest of will. Every alliance currently holding a slice of 0.0 proved it had the will to fight for it, and to keep it from others. They wouldn't be there if it wasn't the case. You CAN do it, too. You can wrestle control of constellations or regions from other alliances, alone or with the help of other entities. Or you can hit them until they start thinking they'd rather have you as allies than as enemies. But both of those ways to achieve it include to be more persistent than other 0.0 players. Do you have what it takes?

So i dunno, what do you do? Personally I think to make it really fair create another eve universe (yes keep the one we have now!) but a complete new one, no char transfers, isk transfers etc, and only new chars, so everyone starts from scratch (OK before you start no need to get personal and flame its just an idea like everyone elses)
Again, what makes you think you'd have a slice of 0.0 even in a brand new universe? If you can't have one here, you won't have the capability to have one in another server. Or at least, not for long.
The same large alliances already existing would also come to take over 0.0. There's quite a lot a us who would like the opportunity of a fresh start, with all the knowledge and social relations we've built up. Just imagine the way you could speculate on the market if everything was reset. I wouldn't give it a month before the NC, AAA, GS & Co claim most or all of 0.0, including all chokepoints and accesses.
