The influence of the state on human lives is more comprehensive and
sustained than that of any other organizational construct. It
steers the economy, fights crime, provides education, sustains
democracy, enters wars, guarantees social welfare, collects taxes,
and deploys some forty percent of the gross national product.
Transformations of the State? defines the multi-faceted modern
state in four intersecting dimensions: resources, or control of the
use of force and revenues; law, or jurisdiction and the courts;
legitimacy, or the acceptance of political rule by the populace;
and welfare, or the facilitation of economic growth and social
equality. The twentieth-century nation-state blended those
dimensions and turned the post-WWII era into the golden age of the
state. What has become of that state and its functions and what is
its future? Political scientists, lawyers, economists and
sociologists have examined a sample of OECD nation-states in the
search for answers to these questions.
