The nation state as we know it is a mere four or five hundred years
old. Remarkably, a central government with vast territorial control
emerged in Japan at around the same time as it did in Europe,
through the process of mobilizing fiscal resources and manpower for
bloody wars between the 16th and 17th centuries. This book, which
brings Japan's case into conversation with the history of state
building in Europe, points to similar factors that were present in
both places: population growth eroded clientelistic relationships
between farmers and estate holders, creating conditions for intense
competition over territory; and in the ensuing instability and
violence, farmers were driven to make Hobbesian bargains of taxes
in exchange for physical security.
