Volume II: Language Before Institutions
A vision cannot become an institution directly. People make choices amid self-protection, suspicion, fear, and competition; so do states. Volume II first separates relationships that are easily conflated: facts and judgments, rights and contributions, capability and power, authorization and execution. It establishes a shared language for designing institutions that can actually operate and earn trust.
