For many years scholars have sought to explain why the European states which emerged in the period before the French Revolution developed along such different lines. Why did some become absolutist and others constitutionalist? What enabled some to develop bureaucratic administrative systems, while others remained dependent upon patrimonial practices? This book presents a new theory of state-building in medieval and early modern Europe. Ertman argues that two factors - the organisation of local government at the time of state formation and the timing of sustained geo-military competition - can explain most of the variation in political regimes and in state infrastructures found across the continent during the second half of the eighteenth century. Drawing on insights developed in historical sociology, comparative politics, and economic history, this book makes a compelling case for the value of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of political development.

Bio:
For as far back as I can remember, I have struggled to understand why Europe--and especially Germany--left the path of peace and prosperity after 1914 for that of war and genocide. While an undergraduate, I thought philosophy might throw some light on this problem, but I found its answers too abstract. It was the intellectual dynamism of historical sociology in the early 1980's, open as it was to the latest developments in history, social theory and political science, that persuaded me that I could best pursue this question further as a graduate student in sociology.

Second, if proprietary officeholding combined with patron-client relationships left little room for budget cuts, the political influence enjoyed by the noblesse d'etat and other privileged groups rendered an expansion of the tax base, the other logical response to increased fiscal demands, all but impossible.

比较历史社会学的代表作。对于不同类型国家形成的原因做了精致的分析。但遗憾的是，在政治科学家看来，this is just a story, far away from political science.

将老师的求同测异法和关键事件时间节点视角发展到极致并试图推展到中东欧，也使其摇摇欲坠。首先，三个看似相互独立的自变量中有两个似只是中介变量，地方自治形式（参与式和中心控制式）对国会组织是否独立发挥强大作用有重要影响（尤其是地域为基础之国会组织），而不同国家的这一状况，进一步发展出关键节点（地缘军事冲突）出现时统治者所能动用的国家组织资源形式。三者似乎是同一链条上的东西。其次也是因自变量不清导致自打... 将老师的求同测异法和关键事件时间节点视角发展到极致并试图推展到中东欧，也使其摇摇欲坠。首先，三个看似相互独立的自变量中有两个似只是中介变量，地方自治形式（参与式和中心控制式）对国会组织是否独立发挥强大作用有重要影响（尤其是地域为基础之国会组织），而不同国家的这一状况，进一步发展出关键节点（地缘军事冲突）出现时统治者所能动用的国家组织资源形式。三者似乎是同一链条上的东西。其次也是因自变量不清导致自打嘴巴的惨剧：多个案例（英格兰、匈牙利、波兰）与双变量预测不符，只好匆匆引入国会强度并再次引用两组对比的时间点来救场，逻辑混乱，其实两个2X2表格根本塞不下详细的分类。再次，其实全书中心问题无非是国家（统治者）政权原则、稳定官僚系统和国会组织三者的关系，但太多笔墨浪费在边缘事件上反而模糊了这一核心。 (展开)

为了写comparative analysis Memo着重读了有关西班牙的部分。但整本书的研究问题是我本科时候很感兴趣的topic。对于我这个没有社会学基础的读者来说分析方法有点陌生。三个想法：1. 很喜欢将地缘政治冲突时间作为变量的观点 2. 感觉将欧洲Christanity详细阐述而不是作为整体的预设会更严谨 3. 帝国的殖民贸易是不是也可以纳入讨论？（可能相交于作者的两个变量来说有点跑题）... 为了写comparative analysis Memo着重读了有关西班牙的部分。但整本书的研究问题是我本科时候很感兴趣的topic。对于我这个没有社会学基础的读者来说分析方法有点陌生。三个想法：1. 很喜欢将地缘政治冲突时间作为变量的观点 2. 感觉将欧洲Christanity详细阐述而不是作为整体的预设会更严谨 3. 帝国的殖民贸易是不是也可以纳入讨论？（可能相交于作者的两个变量来说有点跑题）但还是难以想象这是博士论文…… (展开)
