Protected Continuity

Definition

Institutional continuity that survives leadership transitions, external shocks, and internal crises. Protected continuity requires structural embedding of purpose, not just cultural transmission. The failure of protected continuity is what ILA terms 'institutional forgetting.'

Example

Central bank independence protects continuity of monetary policy across political transitions. Contrast with agencies subject to political capture where continuity depends on which party holds power.
