Edinburgh University Press The Modern State: Theories and Ideologies
Broad ranging in its coverage of the liberal democratic state and other, non-democratic state formations, the book offers chapters on each of the core theories of the modern state.

There are chapters on: *The Emergence of the Modern State *Liberalism *Elite Theories *Marxism *Socialism *Anarchism *Conservatism *Fascism *Feminisms *The New Right *Fundamentalism *Futures The authors work on the premise that theory is relevant to everyday life, helping us to understand current political transitions and institutional formations and practices. Taking a practical view of politics, each chapter illustrates how state theory has been deployed in recent historical contexts and policy initiatives, using examples to bring the theory to life. Key Features: *Unique in considering the liberal democratic state and other, non-democratic state formations *Includes a wide range of examples, such as Marxist states in Eastern Europe and non-secular, militarist and emergent democratic states in the developing world *Covers a wide theoretical range and includes less well-known ideas and approaches such as those of fundamentalism, fascism and anarchism *Shows how different theories of the state have affected the framing and implementation of policies, or the history of political parties and movements
