The Nature and Development of the Modern State by Graeme J Gill

The Nature and Development of the Modern State by Graeme J Gill

Despite the increasing globalization of many aspects of social, economic and political life, the state remains the fundamental element of contemporary governance. This book provides a broad-ranging introduction to the origins, role and future of the modern state and makes its own distinct contribution to tracing out continuities and changes especially in relation to the development of state capacity.

'[A] very useful, well-structured, and student-oriented contribution.. [which] makes an excellent literature review, quite exhaustive and well informed, especially considering the difficulty of the topic and the wide historical period covered.' - Ceferino J Sanchez, Government and Policy

GRAEME GILL is Professor of Government and Public Administration, University of Sydney. His latest books are Democracy and Post Communism (2002), Russia's Stillborn Democracy? (with Roger Markwick, 2001) and The Dynamics of Democratization (Palgrave Macmillan, 2000).
