Anthropological debates about state formation take two broad forms. One considers state formation as a set of organizational processes that culminate in a coercive institution called the state. The other approach considers state formation as a cultural process that creates the illusion that such an institution exists. It is by means of this illusion, or mask, that the intolerability of political subjection is made to appear as an inevitable and unremarkable feature of everyday life
