Empowering Interactions: Political Cultures and the Emergence of the State in Europe 1300-1900

By Wim Blockmans and Daniel Schlappi

This volume explores the emergence of the state in Europe between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries. Through a series of case studies and historiographical, methodological and theoretical essays, it challenges the traditional top-down model of state development long held by historians. Instead it explores the numerous ways in which non-elite groups could influence the formation of national political institutions
