In the modern era of governance, state is experiencing diverse transformation
technologically, economically, politically, socially, culturally, demographically
and so on. The paper classifies these transformative reforms into economic,
political, socio-cultural, and technological changes and therefore redefining state
in accordance with these change trends. The concern raised in this paper is: how
did these transformations effect the role and the functions of the state? The
desktop study utilises the use of literature and documents, hence follows a
qualitative and analytical approach to answer this concern, that is a subject
matter of this introductory paper.
