THE ATLAS / POWER

Legal authority, ownership, economic relationships and influence are different ways of affecting outcomes. Change the perspective to examine each.

No league table

The modes select relationships. They do not rank institutions, assign scores or claim that any one institution governs all the others.

Structural dependency

Banking, phone and internet services can materially affect participation. Employment, housing, electricity, transport and insurance can also matter. Reliance varies; practical need is not universal legal compulsion.

Limits and review

Authority operates within a jurisdiction. Open institutional profiles to examine limits and review pathways; availability depends on the decision.
