What explains the rapid growth of state power in early modern Europe? While most scholars have pointed to the impact of military or capitalist revolutions, Philip S. Gorski argues instead for the importance of a disciplinary revolution unleashed by the Reformation. By refining and diffusing a variety of disciplinary techniques and strategies, such as communal surveillance, control through incarceration, and bureaucratic office-holding, Calvin and his followers created an infrastructure of religious governance and social control that served as a model for the rest of Europe—and the world.

解释欧洲近代国家形成的宗教动力。新教伦理为国家的科层制度和基层社会治理注入强劲动力。这就是为什么新教国家如英国、荷兰、瑞典和普鲁士会兴起成为17-18世纪西欧重要的政治力量。本书优点在于视角新颖，提出了国家形成研究中除马克思主义视角、新韦伯视角（地缘政治竞争导致国家形成）另外一种解释路径--从宗教角度理解国家的兴起。遗憾的是，本文对于新教如何导致国家强大的分析并非精致，很多地方只是粗略带过，有牵强之嫌。

杰作。希望自己有一天能写出这样的著作

bring the religion back in explaining state-building;但其实对于引入不同视角所增加的解释效力有点怀疑。文风非常term paper美八股了
