SYC 503E - Formation of the Modern State

Course Objectives

The course looks at some key thinkers on the origins and nature of the state, from the point of view of social and political theory, so with regard to the general forms and conditions of the modern state, its sources of legitimacy and the nature of its powers. These topics include historical aspects which reach deep into history before the modern world. This itself raises questions of how we define modernity and how far more recent historical change builds on, or repeats, earlier historical change.

Course Description

Topics covered include sovereignty and dictatorship, law and constitutionalism, political rationality and economic reason, power and force, authority and coercion, antiquity and modernity, historical models in politics, ideas of history and the present, individuality as autonomy and state formed individualisation for the purposes of power, revolution and tradition, political participation and representation.
