Dual power refers to a situation where two separate governing bodies or authorities coexist within a single country or region, each claiming legitimacy and competing for control or influence. This typically emerges during periods of political or social upheaval when an alternative power structure is established alongside the existing one. The idea is that by building alternative institutions or systems, people can challenge and eventually replace the current dominant power structures.
Not unless you’re already building it. That’s why dual power is such an important concept.
Explain this concept for me? I’m intrigued
