HOME SOCIOLOGY IN THE NEWS AUTHOR'S MESSAGE The Concept of the State A state exists where there is a political apparatus (government institutions) ruling a given territory. All modern states are nation-states. A nation-state refers to a government apparatus that is recognized to have sovereign rights within the borders of a territorial area, able to back its claims to sovereignty by military power, and many of whose citizens feel committed to its national identity. Characteristics of the state Sovereignty-a government possesses authority over an area with clear-cut borders, within which it is the supreme power. Citizenship-most people living within the borders of the political system are citizens. Nationalism-a set of symbols and beliefs providing the sense of being part of a single political community.

Political science Political science is the study of politics. It involves the study of structure and process in government - or any equivalent system that attempts to assure safety, fairness, and closure across a broad range of risks and access to a broad range of commons for its human charges.

05 février Retour à la table des matières Porto Alegre II Call of social movements Resistance to neoliberalism, war and militarism: for peace and social justice In the face of continuing deterioration in the living conditions of people, we, social movements from all around the world, have come together in the tens of thousands at the second World Social Forum in Porto Alegre. We are here in spite of the attempts to break our solidarity. We come together again to continue our struggles against neoliberalism and war, to confirm the agreements of the last Forum and to reaffirm that another world is possible. We are diverse - women and men, adults and youth, indigenous peoples, rural and urban, workers and unemployed, homeless, the elderly, students, migrants, professionals, peoples of every creed, colour and sexual orientation. The expression of this diversity is our strength and the basis of our unity. We are a global solidarity movement, united in our determination to fight against the concentration of wealth, the proliferation of poverty and inequalities, and the destruction of our earth. We are living and constructing alternative systems, and using creative ways to promote them. We are building a large alliance from our struggles and resistance against a system based on sexism, racism and violence, which privileges the interests of capital and patriarchy over the needs and aspirations of people. This system produces a daily dram a of women, children, and the elderly dying because of hunger, lack of health care and preventable diseases. Families are forced to leave their homes because of wars, the impact of “big development,” landlessness and environmental disasters, unemployment, attacks on public services and the destruction of social solidarity. Both in the South and in the North, vibrant struggles and resistance to uphold the dignity of life are flourishing.

World Social Forum: Final Declaration of Social Movements Resisting Neoliberalism, militarism, and war: For Peace and Social Justice SOURCE: www.mst.org.br February 8, 2002 Confronting the continually worsening conditions, neoliberalism, and war, we the world social movement, tens of thousands of people, meet at the Second World Social Forum in Porto Alegre. Here in large numbers, in spite of attempts to break our solidarity. We gather again to continue our fight, ratifying accords from the previous year and reaffirming that "a different world is possible". September 11th marks a major change. After the terrorist attacks, which we completely condemn, jus as we would condemn other attacks against civil society in the rest of the world, the government of the United States and their allies responded with massive military action. In the name of the "war on terror", they put civil and political rights in jeopardy all over the world. The Afghani war, in which terrorist methods were used, was expanded to other fronts. It is nothing more than a permanent global war that consolidates the domination of the United States government and its allies. This war reveals the brutal face of neoliberalism. They satanize Islam, and in doing so, intentionally exacerbate the problem of racism and xenophobia. Methods of communication and information create a war-like atmosphere, dividing the world into "good" and "evil". The opposition to the war is an important part of our struggle. Translated by FMST volunteer Anne Strauss.
