传统上，政治发展研究的重点是历史最短、文献记录最差的新兴国家。这本书把讨论带到了一个时间跨度相当大，文献资料也很庞大的领域--西欧民族国家的形成。通过一系列关于重大国家形成活动的文章，作者提出了一个问题，即是什么样的过程和先决条件使强大的民族国家，而不是其他形式的政治组织，在西欧占据了主导地位。这些文章比较了1500年至1900年间欧洲主要国家在战争决策、治安、税收、食品供应控制以及专业人员和官员的招聘和培训方面的经验。其目的是确定这种经验与现有的政治变革模式，特别是政治发展理念的契合程度。
Studies of political development have traditionally focused on emerging countries with the shortest histories and poorest documentary records. This book brings the discussion into a realm where the time span is considerable and the documentation is vast--the formation of national states in western Europe. Through a series of essays on major state-making activities, the authors ask what processes and preconditions brought powerful national states, rather than some other form of political organization, into a dominant position in western Europe. The essays compare the experience of major European states between 1500 and 1900 with respect to war-making, policing, taxation, control of food supply, and recruitment and training of professionals and officials. The aim is to determine how well that experience fits available models of political change, especially ideas of political development.
