Abstract
Modernization brings with it a rapid process of differentiation which increases the dynamism of society but also aggravates the phenomena of disintegration and fragmentation. These opposing sides of the process give rise to uncertainty and a sense of defence-lessness. The protective aura of the State fades away, while at the same time the very notion of society becomes empty and unsubstantial. There is a general feeling of uneasiness, in which all evils tend to be blamed on “bad government” and the imperfections of social life are seen as the direct consequence of political ineptitude. However, the natural concern to tackle the (very obvious) problems of governance may prevent us from seeing the real underlying conditions.
