The European state in the twentieth century and beyond
Main Article Content
Abstract
The author claims that the European state in the twentieth century and
beyond is neither sovereign in any other than a technical legal sense nor is it
national; that it aspires to be the one and pretends to be the other and that
these illusions and delusions are malign. So these bogus characteristics are not
the state’s prime or essential feature, for its one inescapable feature is that it
is a territorial polity.
