Too often we think of the modern political state as a universal institution, the inevitable product of History rather than a specific creation of a very particular history.

Drawing on historical materials and bringing sociological insights to bear on a field long abandoned to jurists and political scientists, the authors lay the foundations for a strikingly original theory of the birth and subsequent diffusion of the state.
