State Formation, Nation-Building, and Mass Politics in Europe by Stein Rokkan
Stein Rokkan was one of the leading social scientists of the post-war world. He was a prolific writer, yet nowhere is his contribution to social science - the conceptual and developmental map of Europe - presented in an integrated and systematic way. Stein Rokkan had plans to do this but died before the work could be started. Drawing on Rokkan's published, unpublished, and translated writings, this book systematizes and integrates Rokkan's numerous writings in the way he wanted to do himself.

Stein Rokkan was born in 1921 on the Lofoten archipelago in the far north of Norway and raised in the nearby town of Narvik. From these unlikely beginnings, he went on to become president of the International Political Science Association (1970-73), vice-president of the International Sociological Association (1966-70) and chairman of the European Consortium for Political Research (1970-76), of which he was also a co-founder. He was president of the International Social Science Council associated with UNESCO (1973-77) and chairman of Nordisk Forbund for Statskundskab (1975-76). Seymour Martin Lipset described him shortly after his death in 1979 as 'the pre-eminent political sociologist' of his generation. He remains widely cited in diverse literature today.
