The Empire Beneath Democracy
Sovereignty and interdependence
A concept-stage examination of how constitutional design, enforcement, alliances, markets, and research policy distribute political power.
Managed Decline
Work and social citizenship
A concept-stage account of how labor markets, licensing, welfare, taxation, health systems, and public visibility shape economic insecurity.

Public promise before publication
A finished volume must pass claim-level evidence review, rights and provenance checks, fairness review, rendered visual QA, cloud-state verification, and dated author approval. The roadmap keeps those gates visible rather than converting a working archive into an implied release.
