Preventive Governance
Most governance systems are built to respond, not to anticipate. We study the institutional design, incentives, and decision rules that allow governments and international organizations to act early — and the structural reasons they so often act late.
Questions we're asking
- Why do institutions systematically act after the optimal window for intervention has closed?
- What decision architectures shorten the gap between detection and action?
- How can prevention be made politically and budgetarily legible?
