Sommario/riassunto

Contemporary state theories have philosophical and theoretical antecedents that can be traced to post-classical social and political thought: their influences can be traced to feminism, structuralism and poststructuralism, cultural theory, and network analysis. This book considers the philosophical and theoretical heritage of state theory.
