"Drawing on their work across the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard, CNRS, and BlockchainGov, Primavera and Felix examine how decentralised technologies and new institutional models can create more participatory, adaptive, and democratic forms of coordination. The essay grounds Network Nations in both critical theory and practical experimentation — privacy, autonomy, power, decentralised networks, and the governance models that could hold them together. It’s a deliberate counterpoint to the Balaji-style Network State: less about exit and sovereignty-as-secession, more about networked, translocal institutions that reconfigure sovereignty rather than simply escape it."
