The state and the public sector

Some key features of the modern state are:

• Complete sovereignty in a defined territory;

• Legislative and coercive powers;

• Can raise taxation and distribute the proceeds;

• It is above sectional interests;

• The state’s autonomy is limited.

  • International economic trends are outside of its control;

  • The authority of the state is delegated to a supra-national institution.

The public sector refers to all publicly funded or publicly owned bodies, even though it may not form part of the tools of government.
