Theories of the Democratic State by John Dryzek
This major work provides a broad-ranging assessment of classical and contemporary theories of the state, focusing primarily on the democratic state. As well as outlining theories used to understand the state, it examines critiques of modern states that have emerged from feminism, environmentalism, neo-conservatism and post-modernism.
"At a time when many are rethinking the relationship between state and market, this is a very useful survey setting the issues in historical and theoretical perspectiveLike its predecessor, Dunleavy and O'Leary's Theories of the State, it will be very effective for course use." - Peter A. Hall, Harvard University "[A] good introductory book which can be warmly recommended to its intended audience" - Edwin Van de Haar, Political Studies
