Description
Debates about the role and nature of the state are central to modern politics. However, defining the state remains challenging due to its subject to various interpretations. In this book, Bob Jessop provides a critical introduction to the state as both concept and reality. Jessop guides readers through major accounts of the state, examining how it relates to other features of social organization. He explores key themes such as state formation, periodization, re-scaling, and the state's future. Key terms are clearly defined, including hegemony, coercion, government, and governance. This introduction will be valuable for students, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the changing role of the state in contemporary societies.
