TRADE UNION STATE STATE A state is an organized political community acting under a government and united by common set of laws. It uses absolute power in directing the path of a society. It also uses complete political coerciveness, which may come in the form of armed forces personnel, stricter laws, and rigid government policies in order to attain its societal goals and objectives. STATE INSTITUTIONS State Institutions (or government owned and controlled corporations “GOCCs”) are institutions supposed to address market failures and correct imperfections. These market failures can exist when the allocation of goods and services of the free market are not efficient and leads to economic loss of value. ELEMENTS OF STATES POPULATION It is the people who make the state. Population is essential for the state. Without population there can be no State. TERRITORY There can be no state without a fixed territory. People need territory to live and organize themselves socially and politically. It may be remembered that the territory of the states includes land, water and airspace. GOVERNMENT It is the organization or machinery or agency of the State which makes, implements, enforces, and adjudicates the laws of the state. SOVEREIGNITY It is the most exclusive elements of State. Without sovereignty no state can exist. State has the exclusive title and prerogative to exercise supreme power over all its people and territory. It is the basis which the State regulates all aspects of the life of the people living in its territory. FORMS OF STATES States come in a variety of forms that vary on who holds power, how positions of leadership are obtained, and how authority is maintained. These are: A. Authoritarian Government Authoritarian governments differ in who holds power and in how control they assume over those who govern. An example of this type is Monarchy.  Monarchy Monarchy is a form of government in which supreme power is absolutely lodged with an individual, who is the head of the state, often for life or until abdication. The person who heads a monarchy is called a monarch. Some monarchs hold unlimited political powers while many constitutional monarchies, such as the United Kingdom and Thailand.  Totalitarianism Totalitarianism is a political system that strives to regulate nearly every aspect of public and private life. It theoretically permits no individual freedom and that seeks to subordinate all aspects of individual life to the authority of the state. Modern examples of totalitarian states include the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong, and North Korea under the Kim Dynasty. B. Oligarchic Government An oligarchy is a form of government in which power effectively rests with a small-elite segment of society distinguished by royalty, wealth, family, military, or religious hegemony. An oligarchy does not have one clear ruler, but several powerful people who rule. One common example is theocracy. B. Oligarchic Government  Theocracy Theocracy is a government by divine guidance or by official who are regarded as divinely guided. Leaders are members of the clergy, and the state's legal system is based on religious law. Contemporary examples of theocracies include Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Vatican. c. Democratic Government  Democracy Democracy is a form of government in which the right to governs is held by the majority of citizens within a country or a state. The two principles of democracy are that all citizens have equal access to power and that all citizens enjoy universally recognized freedoms and liberties. People can either become country leaders through electoral process or elect leaders who represent the core values and beliefs. NONSTATE INSTITUTIONS NONSTATE INSTITUTIONS Governments have put up different institutions that provide services for its people's welfare, such as public works, military and police forces, education, transportation, public works, health services, and other departments and agencies. Similar institutions are utilized by external support agencies as channels for programs and projects intended to benefit the poor. NONSTATE INSTITUTIONS These are non-state institutions that take various forms and have different functions and purposes that greatly impact the people's everyday living and the country's activities as a whole. There are significant numbers of these institutions that promote human rights while others, unexpectedly, commit crimes or even perpetrate violations affecting people's lives and basic freedoms.
