Most books about public power and the state deal with their subject
from the point of view of legal theory, sociology or political
science. This book, without claiming to deliver a comprehensive
theory of law and state, aims to inform by offering a fresh reading
of history and institutions, particularly as they have developed in
continental Europe and European political and legal science.
Drawing on a remarkably wide range of sources from both Western and
Eastern Europe, the author suggests that only by knowing the
history of the state, and state administration since the twelfth
century, can we begin to comprehend the continuing importance of
the state and public powers in modern Europe. In an era of
globalization, when the importance of international law and
institutions frequently lead to the claim that the state either no
longer exists or no longer matters, the truth is in fact more
complex. We now live in an era where the balance is shifting away
from the struggle to build states based on democratic values,
towards fundamental values existing above and beyond the borders of
nations and states, under the watchful gaze of judges bound by the
rule of law.
