Altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - The rise of large, powerful states in Europe after A.D. 1000 transformed life across the Continent and eventually throughout the whole world. The new European states disposed of unprecedented stores of capital and vast military capacities…. In recent decades, scholars have often drawn general models of state formation from the European experience after 1700, then applied them with only partial success to other parts of the world. Although such studies of modern Europe improved on early theories of modernization and development, they failed to accommodate the varied ways in which city-states, empires, federations, centralized states, and other forms of government evolved and the pivotal role that cities played in the multiple paths to state formation. -- In a sweeping, original work detailing eight centuries of city-state relations, Charles Tilly, Wim P. Blockmans, and their contributors document differences in political trajectories from one part of Europe to another and provide authoritative surveys of urbanization in nine major regions; they also suggest many correctives to previous analyses of state formation. They show that the variable distribution of cities significantly and independently constrained state formation and that states grew differently according to the character of urban networks in a given region. Their systematic study shows that unilinear models of state transformation underestimate the contingency and variability of popular and elite compliance with state-building activities. The books findings offer important implications for the nature of economy, sovereignty, warfare, state power, and social change throughout the world. - Contents -- Entanglements of European Cities and States, CHARLES TILLY Cities, "City-States," and Regional States in North-Central Italy, GIORGIO CHITTOLINI -- Towns and States at the Juncture of the Alps, the Adriatic, and Pannonia, SERGIJ VILFAN -- Cities, Capital Accumulation, and the Ottoman Balkan Command Economy, 1500-1800, TRAÍAN STOIANOVICH Cities and Citizenry as Factors of State Formation in the Roman-German Empire of the Late Middle Ages, -- PETER MORAW -- State and Towns in the Middle Ages: The Scandinavian Experience, ANDERS ANDRÉN -- Power and Towns in the Polish Gentry Commonwealth: The Polish-Lithuanian State in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, ANDRZEJ WYROBISZ -- Cities and the State in Spain, -- PABLO FERNÁNDEZ ALBALADEJO -- Cities and the State in Portugal, -- ANTONIO MANUEL HESPANHA -- Intercity Rivalries and the Making of the Dutch State, MARJOLEIN 'T HART -- Voracious States and Obstructing Cities: An Aspect of State Formation in Preindustrial Europe, WIM P.
