Question

what is a state according to Max Weber ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\mathfrak\green{answer :-}$

Max Weber‘ definition of the state as a human community that successfully claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory (Weber, 1946) is widely used in the contemporary political science; there is hardly a more frequently used quotation. Authors that only use or fully belong to positivist and hermeneutical epistemologies alike, and from quantitative to qualitative methodologies, not to mention different theoretical backgrounds, from realist to liberal in the international relations and from society-based to state-based in the comparative politics may equally claim allegiance to it, each with an accent on particular element: force, legitimacy, or monopoly. The quasi-universal use of this quotation reflects the new state of political science as a discipline, a Weberian concensus.
