Not a Manager State but a State that effectively regulates and at the same time is able to ensure the provision of essential public goods directly or indirectly. These are goods of collective interest, such as good administration, justice, basic infrastructure and, at global level, goods of primary interest for humanity: the climate and the preservation of the environment.
That a good is a public good does not necessarily imply that it is supplied by a public entity; what is fundamental is the use to which it is put, the function it serves. Very important work has been accomplished in recent years in numerous international fora and institutions to defend the essential interests of humanity, natural resources, the climate, international security.
