Police exist to uphold the law, operate under clear legal authority, and are accountable to the public. Military intervention that bypasses international law, sovereignty, and democratic consent does the opposite. If we’re going to use analogies honestly, the closer comparison +

NEW: Our report is out! Lifting constraints on industrial policy embedded in global rules of trade, investment, and finance is one of the clearest ways to enable sustainable economic transformation (and costs nothing). Thank you #G20SouthAfrica and @IEJ_SA for leading on this!
