| Overall Educational Objective |
To teach the aspect of political theory related to modern state theory and its criticisms. |
| Course Description |
Modern state is a political institution which gained shape at a specific point in history on a very defined territorial space. This institution received a great deal of theoretical basis through works of various philosophers. This theoretical accumulation gained universal importance as modern state became the norm for political organisation world-wide through developments in the 19th and 20th centuries. On the other hand, an important theoretical body was compiled through criticisims directed to theoretical grounds of modern state.
