The concept of a sovereign nation-state is a central part in many
of the debates discussing the salient issues in political science
today. Yet the debate on the state is fragmented and while the
sub-disciplines within political science address the various
possible consequences of different processes, the one thing they
all share is uncertainty about the future shape and role of the
state. Political Pluralism and the State is the first work in
political theory to bring together IR, comparative politics and
political theory approaches to analyze the post-sovereign state and
develop a new interpretative scheme for social and political
scientists. A scheme that takes account not only of the
fragmentation of the polity but also of the often ignored
concurrent fragmentation of society. The book seeks to understand
and interpret political pluralization as an expression of the
continuous processes of cooperation and secession that define
politics and legitimize institutions. It develops an alternative,
sovereignty-free conception of the 'polis' sensitive to these
unavoidable processes, and assesses the viability of
liberal-democratic ideals in a radically pluralized world. This
book will be of interest to students and scholars in philosophy,
politics, political economy, international relations, sociology and
other social sciences.
