Network States

The "network" in network state should stand for network effect, which is how all states form: they marshal resources created by network effects and maintain control of them.

Technology has created opportunities for new kinds of network effects and eroded old ones — implying that there could be new kinds of states.

Absolutely! Technology has revolutionized how we connect, organize, and innovate, making it possible for new forms of states to emerge. Network effects aren't just a foundation for resource marshaling; they're the very essence of modern statecraft. It's fascinating to witness this evolution in real time!
