Preferred term

state-society relations  

Definition(s)

  • Understanding relations among centralized political organizations (states) and the social collectivities (societies) they govern remains a perennial theme of social scientific, historical, and philosophical inquiry. With almost all the world's territories and peoples formally under state authority—or some form of pooled sovereignty—any discussion of governance builds on an understanding of these associations.
