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.

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.

评分2018 fall: state-building in Medieval and early modern Europe. factors to explain variation in political regimes and in state infrastructures: the organization of local government, the timing of the onset of sustained geopolitical competition, the independent influence of strong representative assemblies on administrative and financial institution.
评分1、增加瞭dimension of state infrastructure，是點睛之筆。 2、基於character of local government來解釋regime，很有說服力。 3、state infrastructure與strong representative institution的齣現次序造就瞭英國和波蘭的不同命運。
评分其實隻看瞭Introduction用時間本身作為解釋變量確實是挺有意義的做法
