国家能力已成为发展经济学和政治经济学中讨论最多的概念之一。在本调查中，我们认为经济史的研究为现代国家获得“国家能力”的过程提供了重要的见解。通过评估欧洲和亚洲一系列不同国家的国家建设过程，我们能够“解压”国家能力与经济增长之间的关系。我们的分析强调了国家建设过程的多样性。我们将重点关注有助于阐明国家能力与经济增长之间关系的机制的最新研究。
State capacity has become one of the most discussed concepts in development economics and political economy. In this survey we argue that the study of economic history provides vital insights into the process through which modem states have acquired 'state capacity'. By evaluating the process of state building across a range of different countries in Europe and Asia, we are able to 'decompress' the relationship between state capacity and economic growth. Our analysis emphasizes the variegated nature of the state building process. We focus on recent research that helps to elucidate the mechanisms that relate state capacity to economic growth.
