G. Discussion
The state is a political community
that has sovereign jurisdiction over
a clearly defined territory, and
exercises authority through several
institutions, including the
government.
Heywood (2013) offers five features
of a state:
1. It is sovereign.
2. Its institutions are public.
3. It is an exercise of legitimation.
4. It is an instrument of domination.
5. It is a territorial association.
The state has four elements,
namely: sovereignty, government,
territory, and people.
Sovereignty refers to both
jurisdiction (the ability of a state to
exercise its authority over its
territory and people) and
independence (the freedom from
external control).
The government is the machinery
of the state through which the
people’s will is formulated and
carried out.
The territory includes all the land,
sea, and airspace the state
exercises jurisdiction on.
Finally, the people or population is
the organization of human beings
living together as a community.
Roskin (2012), Political institutions
is the working structures of
government, are important in the
proper functioning of a state. The
government serves as a
mechanism of the state, through
which the will of the people is
expressed, formulated, and carried
out. One way of studying political
institutions is through identifying
the locus of power—that is, by
asking the question,
“Who governs?”
Nation is a group of people bound
together by commonalities in
language, history, traditions, and
religion. In this case, a nation is not
just cultural, but could be political
as well—especially when the people
share a common civic
consciousness. Although not
necessary, a nation can also be
seen as psychological when people
share loyalty or affection in the
form of patriotism (Heywood
2013).
The integration of the state and the
nation forms the nation-state.
This political organization is widely
recognized today. As an entity, its
strength relies on the fusion of both
the cultural and political aspects
present in a state and in a nation,
allowing for cultural cohesion and
at the same time political unity.
However, nation-states have been
met with challenges, including, but
not limited to, the growth of ethnic
politics and globalization.
H. Generalization
So what do you think the Philippines is? The class is now opening for a
Is it a state? A nation? Or just a government? discussion.
Anyone can answer
In conclusion, the terms nation, state,
and government are used
interchangeably. In this module,
you have seen how different these
terms are from each other. The
Philippines is both a state and a
nation. As a state, it is composed of
elements such as people, territory,
government, and sovereignty. As a
nation, the Philippines is comprised
of individuals who share certain
commonalities as to language,
identity, tradition, or history and
who share a feeling of unity and Questions are catered at this point
belongingness with that
imagined community.
Okay, any queries, questions,
violent reactions?
Now prepare 1 half sheet of paper crosswise
for our evaluation.
IV. Evaluation.
1. What is a political institution? Describe the current situation of the political institution
that you are currently in?
2. What is a state and what are its characteristics? Is the Philippines a
state based on these characteristics? Explain your answer.
3. Given the present condition of the country and based on your own
observations, would you consider the Philippines an effective, weak, or
failed state? Why?
V. Assignment.
For your assignment, kindly have an advance study about the 3 branches of the
government.
