MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE STATE

Permanent Population

Goverment

International Relations/Sovereignty

Jurisdiction

How do you think that those elements should change in order to have a better government in the future?

Territory

permanet population

A permanent population forms a stable community that is subject to the state's laws and governance. This is one of the essential elements required for the existence of a state under international law, alongside defined territory, government, and the capacity to engage in international relations. A permanent population ensures the social and political continuity of the state.

TERRITORY

Territory refers to the defined geographic area where a state exercises its authority and sovereignty. This includes land, water, and airspace, and it is one of the essential elements of statehood under international law. The territory provides the physical space for the state's permanent population and government, and it sets the boundaries within which the state's legal and political systems operate. Control over a defined territory allows a state to establish jurisdiction and implement its laws and policies within its borders.

Government is the system that runs a country or state. It makes the laws, enforces them, and ensures order in society. The government is responsible for organizing how things work, from schools to roads, and keeping peace and safety. It’s usually divided into parts: one that makes laws (legislature), one that enforces them (executive), and one that resolves disputes (judiciary). Without a government, there would be no structure or rules, and society wouldn’t function welliales.

GOVERMENT

SOVEREIGNTY

The fundamental element of the state in relation to its interactions with other states is sovereignty. Sovereignty refers to the authority of a state to govern itself and make decisions independently of external control. This concept is central to the international system and affects how states interact with one another, negotiate treaties, and handle conflicts. The principle of sovereignty establishes the framework for recognizing a state's legitimacy and its capacity to engage in diplomatic and economic relations with other states.

jurisdiction

Jurisdiction is a key element of statehood. It encompasses the state's authority to govern and exercise control over its territory and population. Jurisdiction allows a state to establish and enforce laws, adjudicate disputes, and regulate activities within its borders. It also plays a role in the state's interactions with other states and international bodies, defining the scope and limits of its authority in various contexts. In summary, jurisdiction is integral to the functioning and recognition of a state in the international system.

1. People: Enhance inclusion and diversity by ensuring equitable representation and active citizen participation in governance.
2. Territory: Focus on sustainable development and decentralize power to address local needs and manage resources effectively.
3. Government: Improve transparency, accountability, and responsiveness through better governance practices and engagement with the public.
4. Sovereignty: Balance national sovereignty with international cooperation to address global challenges while respecting global norms.
5. Jurisdiction: Foster international collaboration on transnational issues and refine mechanisms for shared and accountable jurisdiction.

These changes can contribute to more effective, inclusive, and sustainable governance in the future.
