Force Theory of State formation and highlight its cons.

According to this theory, state came into existence by a result of force applied by strong to weak. Socially and economically well people came into power by applying force to the weaker members of the society. Theory claims that this exertion of force created the state.


This theory is somewhat true, indeed, force played an important role in the formation of state. Some of the great empires (roman-egypt) in history were established using blood and fist. Theory is criticized a lot due to a reason that it promotes war and fighting.

Five factors played crucial role according to the Historical/Evolution Theory.

Ad hoc - for a particular purpose. This is not a common way of state recognition. It is the formation of new state under special circumstances (war, political conflicts, and etc.) according to the agreement between the conflicting parties with or without the involvement and/or consent of the state itself.
