What is the state in a changing world order? From postcolonial power and uneven state formation in the Middle East to transnational identities and the challenge of multinational societies, Hisham Bustani, Eberhard Kienle, Riva Kastoryano and Alain Dieckhoff debate how states are made, contested and transformed—and whether the territorial nation-state can still organize political life.
