Sinopsis

Western societies are becoming increasingly complex and challenging to govern, yet the modern state continues to play a central role in governance. This book presents a detailed analysis of the challenges confronting the contemporary state and the processes through which the state addresses those challenges. The notion of 'governing without government' is critiqued, instead, Pierre and Peters argue that what is happening a more a matter of state transformation than state decline.
