There has been renewed and growing interest in exploring the
significant role played by law in the centralization of power and
sovereignty - right from the earliest point. This timely book
serves as an introduction into state theory, providing an overview
of the conceptual history and the interdisciplinary tradition of
the continental European general theory of the state. Chapters
present a theory of the state grounded in cultural analysis and
show liberal democracy to be the paradigm of today's western
nation-state. The analysis includes the emergence of legal forms
and institutions that are linked either to the constitutional state
(the securing of civil liberties and fundamental rights), the
welfare state (social and welfare law), or the network-state
(regulation of complex digital technologies). Thomas Vesting
focuses on illustrating the fundamental features of these
evolutionary stages - the three layers constituting the modern
state - and reveals their cultural and social preconditions. This
book will be an ideal read for students, postgraduates, and other
academic audiences with interests in state theory, jurisprudence,
legal theory, political theory, and legal philosophy.
