The Decoupling Sovereignty Index has been introduced as a new analytical tool aimed at addressing the complexities of state authority and effectiveness. It seeks to provide a clearer understanding of the extent to which formal authority diverges from actual governance capabilities, a question that has been inadequately addressed by existing frameworks such as the Fragile States Index and various governance indicators. By focusing on this critical separation, the index aims to enhance the evaluation of state performance and resilience in the face of challenges. This development is expected to contribute significantly to the discourse on state decay and the dynamics of sovereignty.
