SORU:

How can the term “state” be defined and what are the types of it?


CEVAP:

Weber defined the state as “a human community that (successfully) claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory”

There are different types of states:

  1. Authoritarian state: It can be defined as the government of a powerful figure or a group.
  2. Totalitarian state: In totalitarian states, all institutions are totally controlled. This type of the state is deprived of legitimization. In order to control society as a whole, any kind of violence and fear can be used.
