This eminently readable 1994 collection of high-quality,
country-specific essays on Third World politics provides, through a
variety of well-integrated themes and approaches, an examination of
'state theory' as it has been practised in the past, and how it
must be refined for the future. The contributors go beyond the
previously articulated 'bringing the state back in' model to offer
their own 'state-in-society' approach. They argue that states,
which should be disaggregated for meaningful comparative study, are
best analysed as parts of societies. States may help mould, but are
also continually moulded by, the societies within which they are
embedded. States' capacities, further, will vary depending on their
ties to other social forces. And other social forces will be
capable of being mobilised into political contention only under
certain conditions. Political contention pitting states against
other social forces may sometimes be mutually enfeebling, but at
other times, mutually empowering.
