书名: Nation, State, and the Economy in History

Book Description
At a time of persistent national strife on a world-wide scale, this book addresses the rarely-explored subject of the reciprocal relationships between nationalism, nation and state-building, and economic change. Analysis of the economic element in the building of nations and states cannot be confined to Europe, and therefore these diverse yet interlinked case-studies cover all continents. Authors come to contrasting conclusions, some regarding the economic factor as central, while others show that nation-states came into being before the constitution of a national market. The essays leave no doubt that the nation-state is an historical phenonemon and as such is liable to 'expiry' both through the process of globalisation and through the development of a 'cyber-society' which evades state control. By contrast, recent developments in southeastern Europe, the former USSR, and parts of Africa and the Far East show that building the nation-state has not run its course.
Review
"...the editors and authors deserve praise for delivering a lively, clearly written discussion of an important theme, a significant addition to our understanding of fundamental social relationships and a model for future research." -- Business History Review
"In general, as the authors are eminent economic historians they are aware that economies change over time." -- Journal of World History, Frank B. Tipton, University of Sydney
