Nation-Building and Citizenship examines how states and civil
societies interact in their formation of a new political community.
Reinhard Bendix directs our attention to relations established
between individual and state during nation-building. While the
development of citizenship and the interplay between tradition and
modernity are important in this process of social and political
change, his key theme is the examination of authority patterns.
Bendix explores in depth the possibilities of an alternative
approach to the neo-evolutionary orientation many social scientists
take in their analyses of the underdeveloped areas of the world.
The subjects he discusses include transformations of Western
European societies since medieval times, extension of citizenship
to the lower classes, bureaucratization in the nation-state,
private and public authority in Western Europe and Russia,
aristocracies and development in Germany and Japan, and the
development of public authority in India's political community. The
book concludes with a reconsideration of ideas widely held about
tradition, modernity, and modernization. In a new introduction,
John Bendix writes that what continues to make this book relevant
is not only what it can tell us about past and present
nation-building, including the transformations of the 1980s and
1990s, but its more general messages about the nature of social and
political transformations. Nation-Building and Citizenship is a
necessary addition to the libraries of political scientists,
sociologists, historians, and scholars of comparative studies.
