Description

This influential 1921 study by Harold J. Laski develops foundational theories of the state that challenged conventional political thought. Building on ideas introduced in his 1919 work Authority in the Modern State, Laski argues that the state is not a supreme entity but rather one association among many competing for people's loyalty and obedience. The work remains essential reading for students of political science, philosophy, and political ideology, offering critical insights into state theory and governance that continue to inform contemporary discussions on communism, Marxism, and political authority. Published by Routledge, this classic text provides rigorous analysis of sovereignty and the relationship between the state and civil society.

Key Features

Laski's foundational theory of the state challenges the notion of supreme state power and explores multiple competing associations.

Originally published in 1921, this work builds upon Laski's earlier 1919 publication Authority in the Modern State.

Essential for students of political science, philosophy, and political ideology studying communism and Marxist theory.

Routledge edition preserves the influential essays that shaped modern political thought and state theory.

Explores how the state competes with other associations for citizen loyalty and obedience in complex societies.
