Abstract:
|
The state is a central concept in the study of politics but has had an unstable career in political science. This essay examines the contributions by political scientists, historians, sociologists, and anthropologists to the study of state formation. The goal is to take stock of recent findings that address questions of concern to political science. Despite the impressive growth of the literature on state formation in the last decade, few efforts have been made to compare the findings across sub-disciplinary or geographical boundaries. In the concluding section, I will discuss how the literature transcends earlier criticisms of the concept of the state and will make an appeal for political scientists to take the state seriously. |
