* Inquiry into the phases and processes associated with the development of the modern state * Seeks to establish where, when, how and why the state has come into existence
Statualization
* Gianfranco Poggi * The process through which non-state social formations acquire and develop the "practices of rule" and general characteristics associated with the modern state
State: Defining characteristics
1. Population
* Resides within a fixed territory * Lays claim to that territory * Subject to the sovereign power that exercises jurisdiction over that territory * Consists of citizens who enjoy rights and obligations of citizenship
2. Territoriality
* Occupy a pearly defined geographical space * Territorial jurisdiction * System of States * Impermanent --> Not permanent (Could change, be replaced by an other organization…)--> Theories are saying that Nowadays we're living a period of State changing
3. Sovereignty (=Absolute power, The power resides in the State) --> No supranational authority * Domestic sovereignty
* Exercise of sovereign power within the State jurisdiction, boundaries - (e.g to tax to make policies to educate…)
* Interdependence sovereignty
* Right To determine who and what arrives and leaves the state - (e.g rules to go to the US after 9.11)
* Westphalian sovereignty
* Mutual respect for territorial sovereignty * Recognition of the formal equality of sovereign states * Non-intervention
* International Legal Sovereignty
* International agreements * International institutions * Self-help and the use of force
* De jure and de facto sovereignty
* Juridical (De jure) statehood - recognition --> The state has to be recognized as so by existing states *
