What’s New
You often hear the word ‘state.’ But do you really understand what it is? Is it simply a
place that we live in? or, have you come across with the term ‘non-state’? Most of us are not
really familiar with these terms or we are not really aware about them. However, it is important
for us to understand these since we are a part of it. Furthermore, there are state and non-state
institutions whose functions may benefit every individual being a part of the state.
What is It
What is a State?
It is a community of persons, more or less numerous, occupying a definite portion of the earth’s
surface, having its own government, through which the inhabitants render habitual obedience
free from outside control.
Four Elements of State
1. People/ population– It is important that the community of persons is composed of both
females and males for purpose of reproduction. Reproduction is indispensable. It is
through reproduction that the state can continue to exist. However, there is no
requirement as to the number of people living in a territory for it to be classified as state.
2. Territory – There can be no state without territory. People need territory to live and
organized themselves socially and politically. It may be remembered that the territory of
the state includes land, water and air/space. Within it are natural resources which are
vital for people to live and they have the responsibility to protect and conserve it.
7
Furthermore, the people must be able to defend their state from invaders, and in doing
so, the use of force may be justified.
3. Government – This is the vital ingredient of the state. There can be no state without
government. The government is the working agency of the state. It is the political
organization of the state. This is where the laws to be implemented in the country are
enacted. Since it is believed that the government should be established by the people
themselves, through the constitution that they will promulgate, it is but logical for them
to bestow their obedience to it. The people should follow the laws and respect the
authority.
4. Sovereignty – It refers to the supreme power of the state to rule itself without interference
from other states. This means that the state is an independent entity where people enjoy
freedom. A territory is not a state if it is not independent.
Two aspects of Sovereignty
Internal Sovereign – The state is supreme over all its citizens, and associations.
External Sovereignty – The state is independent and free from foreign or outside
control.
What is institution?
Composed of a set of formal rules, informal norms, or agreed upon understanding that
constraints or prescribed political actor’s behaviour and interaction with one another.
Main Function: Keep society in order and implement specific tasks assigned to them.
State Institutions
Institutions that have state functions and are established to govern the state.
