>> "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.
