"The state back stoics" scholars criticized that the "socialism centralization" has neglected the autonomy and put forward a theory of "state centralization" to review the relationship between state and social.As the standard "the state back stoics".Skocpol and Nordlinger stressed that "state centralization" in the relatives of state and social.They pointed out that state should not only the political platform to react social interest demands but also have his own autonomy in social.But in the specific construction of that,they have varied in 'nationalism' and "Elitism" because of two different type structure and dynamic.And they have put state autonomy theory in three aspects:state concept,state goal and state capacity.Skocpol has stressed that the autonomy of concept of the state,the state goals and state capacities spontaneously formed by the organization were mainly reflected in the institutional capacity under the guidance of structure form,While Nordlinger emphasized in the officer motility which shows the officer's preference to state goal and tactics used in state capacity under the guidance of dynamic.So this article is focused on comparison of their view through state concept,state goal and state capacity and discuss the specific difference in state autonomy.In the state concept aspect,they both definite with Weber's theory as the foundation.But Skocpol think a state should be a structural autonomy in nature which likes a physical organization who got the mandatory power to commit an outrage in law.Besides,State can influence the social structure unintentionally.Skocpol has form a complete state concept through this two aspect.But Nordlinger has his own understanding,He point's out that officer is the subject of a state who can get rid of stress from social interest party and execute some policy to restrain social.In the state goal aspect,Skocpol emphasize that state is a logical organization.She divided into two parts,"Internal political logistic"<maintain the existing rule>and"outward security logistic"<safeguard state security and compete all world>in both domestic and foreign.While Norderling doesn't adopt this theory directly but apply it with state preference in state autonomy construction.He analyzed that state preference is depended by officer's preference.Though each officer got different taste,they will balance it and then came into state preference.So individual preference plays an important role in state preference.and as the same connotation of the two.the state goal is depended by officer.In the state capacity aspect,Skocpol underline that it reflect in institutional capacity,and it was divided by fundamental and individual ability.she points out that the fundamental ability contains mandatory,resource,social penetration and officer's administrative ability.Essentially,it is the basic organization structure andperformance of institutional arrangement which react a positive correlation between the two.The existing of state institution plays key role in single state capacity in some specific fields.So the specific state institution embody in single state capacity.While Norderling think the officer's tactics plays key role in in state ability.lt was referenced by state and social reference that the officer's tactic can be used as uniformity preference,removing divisive preference anti-social preference.Officer use this tactic to strengthen indifference preference when the uniformity of officer is equivalent to to social and state preference.But the tact of strengthen officer uniformity can hardly reflect state capacity.the remove divisive tactic mean the officer change it into the uniformity preference when it comes to difference between state and social.and this tactic can show a strong state capacity.the anti-social preference means to place the preference into mandatory action when the two diverge.So the most best tactics to show state capacity is officer anti-social preference.After analysis the difference between Skocpol and Nordlinger.We conclude that they all research state autonomy in the combined action of structure and dynamic though they focused the different aspect.Skocpol has analyzed the proactive from the perspective of macro structure.She believe that elite and the team has some unpredictable magic in occasional social revolution.besides,the proactive of political elite can play a significant role in state construction.Norderling stress that mature constitutional democracy rule is the fundamental to officer when it comes to analyze democratic autonomy in the tactic of public officer.besides,Bureaucracy elite should be restricted by the rule when executing social preference action.So,Skocpol and Nordlinger have both mentioned through perspective of the structure and dynamic to build state autonomy in application.
