From Scientific American
Spruyt ... shows that sovereign states of Europe emerged from the decline of feudalism as urban units gained freedom and formed leagues.... He also puts into perspective the European Union that today's nationstates are attempting to put together.... A significant contribution to political science and to European history.
From The New Yorker
Spruyt takes on a theme that is ... of central import to political science.... A convincing demonstration that there was nothing inevitable about the triumph of the [present] form of the state.
这本书啊,一颗赛艇!至少相当一部分做到了一直以来理想中的事情:1不把民族国家作为天然框架和唯一必然的终极目标而引发“倒着读历史”的谬误;2引入(虽然只是最基础的而且还带有强烈功能论色彩的)生物竞争和演化学说,以战争为竞争拟态解释作为组织形态的国家为何在中世纪多种政治形态竞争中胜出;3 超越国关理论中极其无聊的两大争论:事实上还原到单位的系统理论vs带有强烈无政府系统假设的单位理论(可以说是国关粗糙版的结构—能动问题),基于权能的天然无政府状态vs基于互动的国际社会建构说,将单位和系统置于特定历史条件下相互形构的情景,考察制度的中介作用;4打通国关与历史社会学,外部冲击(贸易与经济增长)—政治体内部社会阶级重构(德法意统治关系)—制度选择—政体变化—政体互动竞争与胜者加强—系统形成,逻辑完满。
