Title
State and Status: The Rise of the State and Aristocratic Power in Western Europe,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Arguing that states emerged in Western Europe as powerful politicalgeographical centres rather than nationstates or national states, Samuel Clark examines and compares the centres and peripheries of these two large regional zones, focusing not only on England and France but also on Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Savoy, and the Southern Low Countries. This wideranging and multifaceted work shows how the state shaped the aristocracy and transformed its political, economic, cultural, and status power. From a theoretical perspective, State and Status is both innovative and significant; Clark is the first to link the antifunctionalist historical sociology of Western Europe with the functionalist or neofunctionalist tradition in sociology.
