The Cycle of Rule: Existential Risks, Continuity Of Governance, And Conflict-Based Preservation

No vc7w9, SocArXiv from Center for Open Science

Abstract: This paper argues for a perspective on the cycle of governance in past circumstances and in the provided future. It highlights a certain balance between conflict and peace which must exist in order to enforce long-term political stability. The need for conflict can be divided up into three portions which also highlight the areas of risk for any failure of government. The first is infrastructural conflict which deals with internal issues and changes as a method of extending governance. The second is ultrastructural conflict which highlights a necessary presence of external pressure—whether that be militarily, politically, or socially. And the final portion argues for a balance of socially influential conflict which comes from within the republic’s penumbra and requires necessary changes or conflict such as the population’s exposure to social and political turbulence to create a long-term endurance. These three factors define the larger need for conflict and change to enforce longevity and sustainability within a governing body. By tackling historical circumstances, and larger philosophies of governance on a conceptual level and with behavioral theory, this paper provides a comprehensive outlook regarding the need for conflict and aims to highlight a misconception regarding peace being the sole force of sustenance within governing a sovereign body politic.
