Origins of Liberal Dominance

"Origins of Liberal Dominance offers new insights into the emergence of modern states and regimes. For scholars of European politics, this book provides new evidence about which premodern political institutions gave rise to quintessentially modern forms of political organization. It will be of interest to political scientists, sociologists, and comparative historians, and those interested in comparative politics, regime change and state-building, democratization, and religion and politics."--BOOK JACKET.
