French term or phrase: logique étatique
Le projet insiste sur le fait que ces zones échappent à la logique étatique pour se structurer autour de régulations "glocales".

This is a coursework assignment, the task is an extract from a proposed anthropological research project about remote Himalayan regions, basically saying that they don't conform to the same model as nation states but rather do things in a way that brings local and global together

It's mainly the word "logique" I'm struggling with, I've tried looking in anthropology glossaries but haven't found anything yet.
