One may think of an exact, a more distinct meaning to be attached to the notion of crisis. The notion of crisis is overstated in our everyday dialogues.
This paper takes the task to review different perspectives on the concept of crisis. It then proceeds to connect it to the state. The state is considered to
be one of the most important and effective foundations in the modern society. A crisis discourse has engulfed and dominated the state and the
development theories after the world War II. The paper will also attempt to present a classification as to the possible relationships among the state, civil
society, and the development. The classification distinguishes "perpetual
developmentalism" ,
"perpetual
equivalence" ,
and
"perpetual
anti-developmentalism". It follows up considering two factors: a) the trajectory of development process, and b) how to implement the
developmental policies. Then, this paper is based on some studies on the crisis in the undeveloped countries. Pointing to an unstable state, and trying
to show a theoretical way out of the stagnant situation. The idea bears close relationship with the basic question taken by this paper: what are the basic
attributes of a third-world slate, in practice and in theory?
