Definition of strong state?

Strong states control their territories and maintain a monopoly of the use of force within their borders. These states derive the power to rule from competent institutions of coercion. Strong states may or may not have legitimacy. Strong states that have legitimacy adhere to the rule of law, provide core functions for their citizens, and enjoy the consent of the governed. Strong states that lack legitimacy usually favor a particular elite and rely on coercion to rule. Although these states do provide core functions, they do not adhere to the rule of law and much of their populations withhold consent. These states are vulnerable to challenges by other groups and political movements who may be perceived as being more legitimate than the state
