The freedom to turn one's eye away from government will have no effect on the power which governments have to direct one's life, except perhaps that governments may be more able to move in an unfavorable direction as a result of one's withdrawal.
Sayfa 3
It is not possible to 'explain' institutions purely on the basis of structures, as some have tried to do; what accounts for the structures and for the relationship between these structures are the values or norms which prevail in the society at a given point.
Sayfa 9
The study of government is thus the study of the 'elements' in society which jointly (in conjunction but also more than occasionally in opposition) produce this 'authoritative allocation of values'. These 'elements' are naturally broader and more numerous than the arrangements described in constitutions, even where constitutions are applied: they include the national executive and the parliament; they also include parties, groups, to the extent that these participate in the process of the 'authoritative allocation of values', as well as bureaucracies and indeed courts.
Sayfa 8
Governments exist, in all their complexity, in order to achieve (or because it is hoped that they will achieve) certain results. The scope of the study of government (and therefore of comparative government) can be discovered only if we discover what governments are for.
