Broad ranging in its coverage of the liberal democratic state and
other, non-democratic state formations, the book offers chapters on
each of the core theories of the modern state. Each chapter is
structured in the same way to allow for ease of cross-referencing
and for comparisons to be drawn between theories, with parts on
Context, Definition, Theorists and Practical Politics. There are
chapters on:
-The Emergence of the Modern State
-Liberalism
-Elite Theories
-Marxism
-Socialism
-Anarchism
-Conservatism
-Fascism
-Feminisms
-The New Right
-Fundamentalism
-Futures
The authors work on the premise that theory is relevant to
everyday life, helping us to understand current political
transitions and institutional formations and practices. Taking a
practical view of politics, each chapter illustrates how state
theory has been deployed in recent historical contexts and policy
initiatives, using examples to bring the theory to life.
