“Imagine you’re a would-be migrant. You’re in a desperate situation, fleeing poverty, corruption, and violent crime in Central America. A private organization offers you to come to a new area that promises more security. This area has the basic services of a state — such as the protection of life, liberty, and property — but is not a traditional state. This special jurisdiction is nested in a defined territory between two host nations. Let’s say you agree to pay a certain amount for those services in a year. Your respective rights and obligations are laid down in a written agreement between you and the provider: a real social contract.” (11/18/24)
