Document Summary

Un-> a club of countries: nation=country/ used interchangeably. Weber: the state is the form of human community that (successfully) lays claim to the monopoly of legitimate physical violence within a particular territory- and this idea of (cid:858)te(cid:396)(cid:396)ito(cid:396)(cid:455)(cid:859) is a(cid:374) esse(cid:374)tial defi(cid:374)i(cid:374)g featu(cid:396)e(cid:863) Not always true, territory is relatively new concept. Natio(cid:374)= a (cid:272)o(cid:373)(cid:373)u(cid:374)it(cid:455) of people, (cid:449)hat (cid:373)akes us (cid:858)us(cid:859) Pat(cid:396)iotis(cid:373): is ha(cid:448)i(cid:374)g st(cid:396)o(cid:374)g feeli(cid:374)gs of suppo(cid:396)t o(cid:396) p(cid:396)ide fo(cid:396) o(cid:374)e(cid:859)s politi(cid:272)al state: ex.
