Abstract

The fall of empires and the rise of nation-states was a defining political transition in the making of the modern world. Here, ten prominent specialists discuss the empire-to-nation transition in comparative perspective. Chapters on Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Russia, and China illustrate both the common features and the diversity of the transition. While previous studies have focused on the rise and fall of empires or on nationalism and the process of nation-building, this intriguing volume concentrates on the empire-to-nation transition itself.

Abstract

Der Staat ist ein zentraler geschichts- und sozialwissenschaftlicher Topos in Deutschland wie in Frankreich. In der vergleichenden Forschung zu beiden Ländern taucht er hingegen so gut wie nicht auf. Der vorliegende Band zielt auf diese Lücke. Er vereint aktuelle Forschungen zur Geschichte des Staates in Deutschland und Frankreich von 1870 bis 1945, zu jener Phase, in der nicht nur der Staat als regulierender Faktor der Gesellschaft, sondern auch die Wissenschaft vom Staat ihre größte Entfaltung in der Moderne erfuhren. Neben vergleichenden stehen einander "kreuzende" Beiträge, die Texte deutscher Autoren über Frankreich und französischer Autoren über Deutschland enthalten.

Abstract

This book argues that Putin's strategy for rebuilding the state was fundamentally flawed. Taylor demonstrates that a disregard for the way state officials behave toward citizens - state quality - had a negative impact on what the state could do - state capacity. Focusing on those organizations that control state coercion, what Russians call the 'power ministries', Taylor shows that many of the weaknesses of the Russian state that existed under Boris Yeltsin persisted under Putin. Drawing on extensive field research and interviews, as well as a wide range of comparative data, the book reveals the practices and norms that guide the behavior of Russian power ministry officials (the so-called siloviki), especially law enforcement personnel. By examining siloviki behavior from the Kremlin down to the street level, State Building in Putin's Russia uncovers the who, where and how of Russian state building after communism.
