The State by Colin Hay

Broad-ranging in its coverage and truly international in scope, this major new text introduces all the main competing theoretical approaches to the study of the state as well as key contested issues in relation to globalization, new forms of governance, the changing public/private boundary, changes in the powers and capacities of states, and the differences between advanced liberal democratic and other states. Chapters have been specially commissioned to a common format and are written by an international cast of leading authorities.
'[A] good example..of the vitality and range of contemporary thinking on the state. It is a welcome and valuable addition to the literature on state theory.' - Andrew Gamble, Public Administration '...provide[s] a thorough introduction to contemporary theorizing about the state.' - Alexander D. Barder, Political Studies Review
