The State Is Not the People

By Kibavuidi Nsiangani

Governments speak in the name of nations. But what makes an institution genuinely answerable to the people whose authority it claims? The State Is Not the People begins with that distinction, investigating legitimacy, public mandate, legal protections and the right to challenge decisions that affect collective life.
