State domination in the non-Western world is hallmarked by its
constantly shifting character. This stimulating book develops a new
approach to the study of state formation and state erosion to
explain dynamics that neither follow the pathways of development
nor the rule of stagnation that dependency theory once suggested.
Carefully edited by Klaus Schlichte, this book provides a fresh
angle to the study of states with an attempt to 'overcome Weber
with Weber'. The approach focuses on the historical authenticity of
states and their institutional frameworks, describing the
trajectories taken as they react to the effects of changes in their
international and local social environments. The emphasis laid on
the specific characteristics of individual states does not however
lead to the theoretical difficulty of a new contextual relativism.
The conceptual design employs sociological categories developed by
Max Weber, Norbert Elias, Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu and
others.
