What is pluralist state , capitalist state, leviathan state and patriarchal state

Pluralist state-The pluralist theory of the state has a very clear liberal lineage. It stems

from the belief that the state acts as an ‘umpire’ or ‘referee’ in society.

Capitalist State-The Marxist notion of a capitalist state offers a clear alternative to the

pluralist image of the state as a neutral arbiter or umpire.

Leviathan State-The image of the state as a ‘leviathan’ (in effect, a self-serving monster

intent on expansion and aggrandizement) is one associated in modern

politics with the New Right.

Patriarchal State-Modern thinking about the state must, finally, take account of the

implications of feminist theory.
