This major work provides a broad-ranging assessment of classical and contemporary theories of the state, focusing primarily on the democratic state. As well as outlining theories used to understand the state, it examines critiques of modern states that have emerged from feminism, environmentalism, neo-conservatism and post-modernism.

Democracy is under threat from a variety of forces originating in the transnational capitalist economy. In this study, the author outlines these forces, considers how democracy might be defended against them, and explores the prospects for deepening democracy.
