- Double-weighted statement
- This book presents a critical strategic-relational account of state power that reveals a sustained effort in tracing the genealogy of the state, its current forms and trajectories, and its possible present futures. It extends my previous work by examining the genesis of primary states based on secondary studies and analysing a large body of theoretical material on the contemporary state. Its post-disciplinary analysis links different formal and substantive aspects of the state with their crisis-tendencies and to problems of governance failure and metagovernance failure. It applies this analysis to different contexts and sketches the present futures of the state.
