The Modern State in Comparative Inquiry ()
ABSTRACT
Norwegian
macro-oriented Social Scientist Stein Rokkan often argued for the relevance of
comparative historical inquiry. What can comparative longitudinal analyses of
the state teach
? The
term “state” is core in politics. When do states appear on the real stage? My
assessment is that F. Fukuyama’s The Origins
of Political Order (Fukuyama, 2014) attempts to demolish the established perspective. I believe that he is incorrect.
