refeudalization

is a process involving the merging of state and society, public and private.

A process that Habermas identifies in modern social-democratic states. Refeudalization involves a merging of the state and society, public and private that approximates to conditions in the feudal state, and a return of elements of representative publicity. Habermas does not believe that modern states are returning to the Middle Ages, merely that certain feudal elements are returning.' (spark)

is the linking of the modern state with the economy, and thus the government with civil society.

Interventionism, which is basically government involvement in civil society and the economy, was part of the process of 'refeudalization'. Habermas uses this term to describe the linking of the modern state and economy... in a way, it is a return to the unified state structure of the feudal period' (Spark).
