It has become something of an orthodoxy of contemporary sociology
that modern democratic industrial societies are essentially alike,
and that they are confronted by uniform challenges, whether
industrial (strikes and demonstrations), social (the 'crisis of the
welfare state'), or political. In this important collection of
studies Professor Birnbaum asserts, however, that the very
existence of differentiation, challenge such a hypothesis. Linking
historical and sociological investigation, Birnbaum argues that it
is only through divergent state-formation that regional and
national state variations in, for example, industrial conflict,
policing or ideological configuration can be explained. His
analysis of the influence of each type of state upon the
development of various collective action and mobilisation processes
establishes the crucial importance of the state as a
quasi-independent variable.
