Item description from seller

Paperback some notes in pen and underlining.prev owners name inside This book addresses itself to fundamental questions. Is the state an independent entity above conflicts in society? Or is it enmeshed in those conflicts? Can we differentiate between types of state? Does the state diminish or increase freedom when it intervenes in our lives? In seven separate sections the editors examine classic conceptions of the state, the formation of modern states, the significance of citizenship, the roles of economy and capital, the interaction of power and legitimacy, states in relation to the world economy, and - finally - the future of the state. Exttracts from the work of Machiavelli, Rousseau, Hobbes and other major theorists introduce the history of the idea of the state; essential contemporary articles by Anderson, Poulantzas, E. P. Thomspn, Nozick and others focus on teh nature and development of the state. Introductions and anlalyses by the editors themselves provide a continuous critical narrative, linking the separate themes. The whole is preface by David Held's substantial introductory essay, which provides a far-reaching analysis of the concept of the modern state - an outstanding introduction to the subject. The scope and authority of this book make it an unparalleled reader for all students of politics and sociaology. 629 pp (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
