Precise words for things currently described vaguely, because vague description is how bad policy hides. Every term is dated, sourced to its first public appearance, and defended in use.

- Proximity Politics
- The emerging EU doctrine by which border management authority devolves to frontline states: de facto first, de jure later.
- Sovereignty Washing
- Rebranding American or Chinese cloud infrastructure as European sovereign without changing its ownership or jurisdiction.
- Ahonen's Razor
- Political analysis requires separating the problem, the attribution, and the solution. Conflating them produces bad policy.
- Ownership-Control Criterion
