Bio:
For as far back as I can remember, I have struggled to understand why Europe--and especially Germany--left the path of peace and prosperity after 1914 for that of war and genocide. While an undergraduate, I thought philosophy might throw some light on this problem, but I found its answers too abstract. It was the intellectual dynamism of historical sociology in the early 1980's, open as it was to the latest developments in history, social theory and political science, that persuaded me that I could best pursue this question further as a graduate student in sociology.

For many years scholars have sought to explain why the European states which emerged in the period before the French Revolution developed along such different lines. Why did some become absolutist and others constitutionalist? What enabled some to develop bureaucratic administrative systems, while others remained dependent upon patrimonial practices? This book presents a new theory of state-building in medieval and early modern Europe. Ertman argues that two factors - the organisation of local government at the time of state formation and the timing of sustained geo-military competition - can explain most of the variation in political regimes and in state infrastructures found across the continent during the second half of the eighteenth century. Drawing on insights developed in historical sociology, comparative politics, and economic history, this book makes a compelling case for the value of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of political development.

第68页：“他们也要带领自己招募的‘公司’(company)参与战争” 查一下字典就会发现company有“连队”的意思。出现这个错误令人费解，因为134页“company economy”正确地翻译为“连队经济”。但前三章所有其他应该被翻译为连队的地方都译成“公司”； 第81页：“这...

比较历史社会学的代表作。对于不同类型国家形成的原因做了精致的分析。但遗憾的是，在政治科学家看来，this is just a story, far away from political science.

评分1、增加了dimension of state infrastructure，是点睛之笔。 2、基于character of local government来解释regime，很有说服力。 3、state infrastructure与strong representative institution的出现次序造就了英国和波兰的不同命运。

评分其实只看了Introduction用时间本身作为解释变量确实是挺有意义的做法
