| Summary: | The book is full of profound insights, stimulating reflections and ideas, and creative provocations, such as the authors continuous scepticism towards the liberal political and state theory . Defining the multicultural state as the essential political community of the 21st century and redefining the basic concepts of the theory of state to that effect, the book may become a milestone in the history of political and state theory (Ulrich K. Preuss in the International Journal of Constitutional Law ) 2006, p. 576-581. It is a great merit of Thomas Fleiner and Lidija R. Basta Fleiner that they identify both internal changes of a personal substrate of contemporary states and the challenges of globalization not only with an astonishing seismological sensitiveness; moreover, they do it in a manner, which distinguishes their book with regard to other works on the theory of the State. (Felix Hanschmann, in Kritische Justiz ) 2005, p. 207-213.
