The Problem of the State provides a new perspective on what the
social and political sciences can contribute to understandings of
the state and the ambivalent place it occupies in our collective
affairs. Distinguishing two broad conceptual and methodological
approaches to addressing the problem of how to study the state
empirically rather than theoretically - the constitutionalist and
constructionist positions - the author reviews the grounds and
limits of both to reveal their common assumption: that it is up to
the social and political sciences to define what the problem of the
state is. Building on insights from Marx, Wittgenstein and
Ethnomethodology, this book frees the study of the state from the
limiting assumptions of common approaches and advocates a return of
the problem to its proper environment, in social and political
practice.
