EXPLAINING STATE FORMATIONS AND TRANSFORMATIONS IN GLOBAL HISTORY, C.1000 - PRESENT
Résumé
Historians and political scientists both consider the diversity of states that exist in the world, past and present, but each tends to prefer distinct approaches. Political scientists often employ metrics that allow comparisons among many states, such as the degree of democratic or authoritarian forms of governance. Historians tend to consider the nature of state rule in particular times and places according to conditions and concerns specific to their cases. This article, mindful of these two quite different research approaches, considers the ways in which historical comparisons of state formation and transformation in different world regions can help scholars understand some of the reasons for similarities and differences among states in more recent times and help prepare us to ponder possible paths of change in the future. Drawing upon comparisons between China and Europe, the article goes on to make some comparisons across the Americas, ending with thoughts on what can be learned by juxtaposing these two sets of comparisons to make a more global history of state formations and transformations.
