Modern state
Western Europe in 1950s

National gov.: A centralized system of democratic rules and strong political-administrative capacities within precisely defined territory
Nation: People who build community of sentiment and a community of citizens
Sovereignty: No final political authority outside or above the state
Post-modern: Most of the OECD countries
Ex: Western Europe are less national
Major part of econ. activity happens in cross-border networks
National gov. is replaced by multi-level governance
Identities are less exclusively national
Weak post-colonial (underdeveloped)
Weak national econ.: The econ is a heterogeneous amalgamation of traditional agriculture, an informal petty sector, and some elements of modern industry
Weak national gov.: Poli institutions are plagued by corruption and weak bonds of loyalty to the state and a low level of state legitimacy
Weak national identity: Ethnic identities are connected to tribal and religious identities rather than a national identity. Severely divided
Modernizing states
Combine features of modern, post-modern and the weak post-colonial states
In a general process of transition. Transition can move in any direction, not necessarily for the better
