Abstract
The previous chapter made a case for a historicized conception of state power, based on a neo-Weberian conception of the state. The security state provides an idealized model of the post-war transatlantic state, which provides a more robust model to examine in the context of increasing globalization. While the previous chapter laid the foundation for a historical understanding of the relationship between state and security, as well as the state and internationalism in the twentieth century, in the main it left out an account of the process of state change in terms of social power. The main argument about change in the previous chapter came from the reaction of domestic social forces to international interactions, found mainly in increasing intensified interstate wars, and an increasingly interdependent international economy.
