Zug, Switzerland—A radical vision for governance beyond traditional nation-states emerges in "Farewell to Westphalia: crypto Sovereignty and Post-Nation-State Governance," co-authored by Jarrad Hope of Logos and philosopher Peter Ludlow. The book argues the 1648 Westphalian model is obsolete in the digital age, proposing blockchain-enabled "cyberstates" as its successor.
Hope and Ludlow contend voluntary digital communities leveraging distributed ledger technology could better address global challenges. Their thesis reframes blockchain not just as financial infrastructure but as the architectural backbone for new political entities. The timing coincides with growing institutional interest in decentralized governance models.
