"The Narrow Corridor to Liberty
Our argument in this book is that for liberty to emerge and flourish, both
state and society must be strong. A strong state is needed to control
violence, enforce laws, and provide public services that are critical for a
life in which people are empowered to make and pursue their choices. A
strong, mobilized society is needed to control and shackle the strong
state. Doppelgänger solutions and checks and balances don’t solve the
Gilgamesh problem because, without society’s vigilance, constitutions and
guarantees are not worth much more than the parchment they are written on.
Squeezed between the fear and repression wrought by despotic states and the
violence and lawlessness that emerge in their absence is a narrow corridor
to liberty. It is in this corridor that the state and society balance each
other out. This balance is not about a revolutionary moment. It’s a
constant, day‑in, day- out struggle between the two. This struggle brings
benefits. In the corridor the state and society do not just compete, they
also cooperate. This cooperation engenders greater capacity for the state
to deliver the things that society wants and foments greater societal
mobilization to monitor this capacity.
What makes this a corridor, not a door, is that achieving liberty is a
process; you have to travel a long way in the corridor before violence is
brought under control, laws are written and enforced, and the state starts
providing services to its citizens. It is a process because the state and
its elites must learn to live with the shackles society puts on them and
different segments of society have to learn to work together despite their
differences.
