The New State: Group Organization the Solution of Popular Government by Mary Parker Follett is a 1918 work on political philosophy. Follett argues that democracy should be understood not as individual wills added together but as the creative integration of group experience. She develops her theory of 'the group' as the fundamental unit of social life, where the common will emerges through genuine association rather than compromise. The book influenced both political theory and business management, and remains a landmark in the study of community, participatory democracy, and conflict resolution.
