Commentary warns of 'the shallow state'
Original: The shallow state
A commentary under the heading 'The shallow state' argues that modern states can look institutional while lacking depth — thin administration, weak implementation and leaders who govern by appearance rather than capability. The piece frames shallowness, not open collapse, as the real governance risk. Readers are debating whether the diagnosis applies beyond the country it describes.
Why now: Concerns about weak state capacity and surface-level governance are resonating amid current political debates.
