In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, modern states
began to provide many of the public services we now take for
granted. Inward Conquest presents the first comprehensive analysis
of the political origins of modern public services during this
period. Ansell and Lindvall show how struggles among political
parties and religious groups shaped the structure of diverse yet
crucially important public services, including policing, schooling,
and public health. Liberals, Catholics, conservatives, socialists,
and fascists all fought bitterly over both the provision and
political control of public services, with profound consequences
for contemporary political developments. Integrating data on the
historical development of public order, education, and public
health with novel measures on the ideological orientation of
governments, the authors provide a wealth of new evidence on a
missing link in the history of the modern state.
