Abstract
Turning Points for State. There should be no illusions as to the new image of an efficient and inexpensive State. If State must be better managed, it cannot be reduced to a management problem (even if it shows itself to be seriously handicapped in this area in relation to other organizations). Behind the word ‘state’, we should differentiate between four different constructs in the state-society relation : the regalian state, the State as social institutor, the welfare state, and the state as economic regulator. Certain notions, such as the proprietary state, the ‘super-manager’ state and the omniscient state, are being phased out in the East and West. It should be noted that the basic regulatory functions will survive these upheavals. Thus state as economic manager will disappear, making way for the traditional political state.
