Join us for a discussion on the emergence and consolidation of historical states. Drawing from works across three different regions – England, Central Europe, and the Middle East – the panelists will debate recent advances in the field, present an outlook on future research avenues, and explore how novel theoretical approaches and newly unlocked data sources can shed light on the formation of states, informing historical debates as well as current policy issues.
This event is organized by the Seminar on European Development in a Historical Perspective. It is co-sponsored by the Democracy and Its Critics Initiative led by CES Director Daniel Ziblatt to focus on both the history and contemporary shape of democracy in Europe.
