A framework proposing that political systems are elastic—that they can stretch to accommodate new constituencies, new challenges, new crises without breaking into authoritarianism or anarchy. Political Elasticity suggests that healthy polities have appropriate stretch: democratic institutions stretch through elections, through protest, through reform—but have limits. When stretched too far, they break into revolution or repression. Understanding politics requires understanding the elastic limits of systems.
Theory of Political Elasticity "The democracy stretched through protest, through crisis, through change—and held. Political Elasticity says that's the test: can the system stretch to meet the moment without breaking? The question isn't whether politics is stable; it's whether it's elastic enough to survive challenge."
