The Formation of National States in Western Europe

Charles Tilly (Editor)
簡介
Examines what Ardant calls the ‘physiology of state-making’: how the builders of states actually performed, or tried to perform, the extractive, coercive, and coordinative side of their work. This emphasis on mechanisms draws attention away from the forms of states and the broadest ends of state-making toward the implications of alternative public policies.
