Description
The Problem of the State by Michael Mair A new perspective on understanding the state and its place in our collective affairs is offered in this thought-provoking book. Mair distinguishes between two approaches to studying the state, reviewing their grounds and limits to reveal a common assumption: that social and political sciences should define what the problem of the state is. By building on insights from key thinkers, Mair advocates a return to the study's proper environment - in social and political practice.
