Description
Bringing the State Back In explores the role of states in shaping social and political processes. This collection of essays examines state strategies, war making and state making, and their influence on political cleavages and collective action.
The contributors use theoretically engaged comparative and historical investigations to provide improved conceptualizations of states and how they operate. The book presents a range of analytical issues about modern states in different contexts, including newly developing countries, early modern Europe, and the post-World War II international economy.
As a programmatic work that proposes new directions for the analysis of modern states, this volume will appeal to teachers and students of political science, political economy, sociology, history, and anthropology.
