Infrastructural Power

Infrastructural power refers to a government’s ability to effectively implement policies, enforce laws, and maintain public services across its territory. It involves the capacity to coordinate resources, communicate with citizens, and ensure that the state's authority reaches even remote areas. Think of it like the strength and reach of a country's infrastructure—roads, communication networks, and institutions—that allow the government to operate smoothly and govern efficiently. Strong infrastructural power means the state can secure obedience, deliver services, and maintain stability throughout its jurisdiction.
