Document Summary
Problem of social science-> does not see society as a whole. This essay focuses on trying to find some common threads in the interdependencies, contradictions and emergent phenomena of the late twentieth century canada. Canadian federal state->has become uncoordinated when it comes to dealing with power and policies, while society with which it interacts is increasingly plural, fragmented and multiple in its allegiance and identities. The more we interact with the state the more divided, as a society, we become. There are many overlapping linkages created by the state-society interdependencies. Relationship between state and society: politicized societies caught in webs of interdependence with the state; and the state is embedded and tied down by its multiple linkages with society, which restrain its movements. State and society used to be viewed as separate, since the last century however, this separation no longer exists. -> they are now seen as having a state-society fusion .
