Val Sklarov –Global Perspectives Core Principle: Jurisdiction Before Presence

Phase VI in Global Perspectives is not about being international.
It is about clearly defining where authority begins, ends, and is respected.

At this stage, global organizations fail not because they operate everywhere,
but because no one knows which rules truly apply where.

1. Phase VI Context: When Global Reach Outruns Legal Reality

Phase V rebuilt trust through re-grounding.
Phase VI asks the institutional question:

“Which authority governs us in each place—without ambiguity?”

Legitimacy erodes when global presence floats above jurisdiction instead of submitting to it.

---

2. The Jurisdiction Blur Risk

Most failed Phase VI global systems repeat this mistake:

Val Sklarov Insight:

“In Phase VI, legitimacy dies where jurisdiction is implied instead of declared.”

---

3. Jurisdiction as a Legitimacy Lock

In Phase VI, legitimacy is preserved by explicit jurisdictional alignment.

Jurisdiction is not friction.
It is permission to operate.

---

4. Presence Without Jurisdiction: The Authority Vacuum

When presence precedes jurisdiction:

• Legal disputes escalate publicly

• Local regulators intervene harshly

• Brand credibility erodes

• Operations become reactive

This creates global vulnerability, not scale.

---

5. The Phase VI Global Law

Val Sklarov Global Law (Phase VI):

“Presence expands exposure.
Jurisdiction defines legitimacy.”

Phase VI organizations submit to authority before asserting reach.

---

6. Global Uniformity vs. Local Legal Reality

Institutions endure when law is treated as architecture, not obstacle.

---

7. Phase VI Signals of Legitimate Global Institutions

Clear legitimacy indicators:

• Jurisdictional maps published internally

• Local legal leaders empowered

• Market exits chosen over legal ambiguity

• Compliance valued over growth

Global legitimacy matures when authority is respected before ambition.
