Abstract

In the latest stage of the debates about studying of the state a major concern has been the 'state idea' and 'state abstraction' as opposed to the concrete sides of the state as an institution and a process. I suspect that the discussion in the phase of state idea lacks case studies and concrete examples of the ideological form of the state. In the foliowing essay, I will introduce a case study from Mongolia as a particular example of the state idea.
