The Modern State
Abstract
In this article the author aims at examining the articulation among the political, the social and the economic fields. The analysis of the Modern State is set out at the moment when the political rupture with the State-nation takes place and the State takes upon its tasks the economic growth. The Modern State is no longer a boss, but it also constructs a space of its own. When the Modern State is made widespread by 1960, talking exclusively about the economic intervention of the State becomes altogether insufficient. At the same time the State becomes global. This new period took shape and was announced by the authoritarian planning of the Soviet Union. The “state mode of production” is threatened by the World Market, Capital Transfers and Supranational Corporations, which tend to constrain each State to a controlled space, among the strategies and struggles at international levels.
