Summary:

<P>This influential study, originally published in 1921, develops aspects of Laski's theory of the state, ideas he introduced in his first important publication, <I>Authority in the Modern State</I> (1919). According to Laski, the state is not a supreme entity; it is one association among many that must compete for the people's loyalty and obedience.</P>
