Abstract
The central question we have tried to address in this volume is how developments within and around the state influence its normative foundations, functions, structures, and processes. In the Introduction, we introduced four conceptions of state as a framework for the various chapters: protecting state, participatory state, transparent state, and multilevel state. In this concluding chapter, we bring these together and suggest some overall trends relevant to the future of public administration and the state.
