State Formation in Italy and Greece offers an up-to-date and
comprehensive sampler of the current discourse concerning state
formation in the central Mediterranean. While comparative
approaches to the emergence of political complexity have been
applied since the 1950s to Mesopotamia, Mesoamerica, Peru, Egypt
and many other contexts, Classical Archaeology as a whole has not
played a particularly active role in this debate. Here, for the
first time, state formation processes occurring in the Bronze Age
Aegean as well as in Iron Age Greece and Italy are explicitly
juxtaposed, revealing a complex interplay between similar dynamics
and differing local factors. Building upon recent theoretical
developments in the origins and functioning of early states, the
papers in this volume experiment with a variety of new approaches
to old problems. Dual-processual theory, heterarchy, agency theory
and weak state theory figure very prominently in the book and offer
innovative, context-sensitive comparative frameworks that match the
richness of the archaeological and historical record in the
Mediterranean. Contributors include scholars working in Etruscan
and early Roman archaeology and history, in Aegean archaeology and
on the emergence of the Greek polis. A full analytical index
further facilitates the cross-referencing of common themes across
the geographic scope of the book.
