Description for Coercion, Capital and European States, A.D.990-1990
Paperback. An account of the evolution of European states. It shows how interactions between the wielders of power on the one hand and the manipulators of capital on the other resulted in three state formations each of which prevailed over long periods. It argues that to conceive European state development as a simple, unilinear process is untenable. Series: Studies in Social Discontinuity. Num Pages: 288 pages, 0. BIC Classification: 1D; 3F; 3H; 3J; HBJD; JPHC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 176 x 227 x 17. Weight in Grams: 452.
In this pathbreaking work, now available in paperback, Charles Tilly challenges all previous formulations of state development in Europe. Specifically, Tilly charges that most available explanations fail because they do not account for the great variety of kinds of states which were viable at different stages of European history, and because they assume a unilinear path of state development resolving in today's national state.
