relative autonomy of the state  

Definición

  • The autonomy (or relative autonomy) of the state thesis is a reaction both to pluralist accounts of power in society and to Marxist accounts of the domination of capital in state theory. Pluralism was itself originally a radical thesis about democracy that argued that true power or influence existed not in the executive (office of the president or prime minister) or the legislature but comes about through various pressures that are exerted on those institutions through various organized and unorganized groups in society.
