Description

Authority in the Modern State, originally published in 1919, is Harold J. Laski's seminal work expanding his pluralist doctrine of the state with France as a reference point. This Routledge volume presents a positive, constructive analysis of politics and state theory, examining the division and organisation of power, the limitations of authority, and the significance of freedom in modern governance. Laski's work builds upon his earlier Studies in the Problem of Sovereignty, arguing that sovereignty itself represents only a special case within the broader problem of authority. The book explores key political theories, including the work of Bonald and the revival of traditionalism, offering readers a comprehensive foundation for understanding how power is distributed, constrained, and legitimised in contemporary political systems. Essential reading for students of political philosophy, history, and state theory.
