Statemaking does not end once states emerge but is a continuous
process, argue the contributors to Statemaking and Social
Movements. In their view, states are not static structures that
"act upon" society, nor are states simple reflections of economic
relations; states are instead highly dynamic structures that are
constantly built up, dismantled, and transformed by complex
interplays of political, social, and economic processes. This
collection of original essays by leading scholars in the fields of
history, anthropology, sociology, and economics argues for
historically specific theories of states and politics in place of
ahistorical models. Case studies range in scope from Aztec Mexico
and feudal Europe to Nazi Germany and contemporary America. What
emerges from this groundbreaking interdisciplinary dialogue is a
historically sensitive way of thinking about states, politics, and
social movements and the transformative relationship between states
and societies.
