Incorporating the most recent scholarship, other significant changes in the new edition include more emphasis on the interconnections of state and state-system, discussions of emerging forms of international violence and war, and attention to the increasingly multicultural character of states.
Studies of state formation in Congo, England, France, Germany, Iraq, Japan, Nigeria, Russia, Turkey, and the U.S. enrich the discussion, which ranges from ancient Rome to the present.
Praise for the 1st edition:
"The authors treat us, and our students, to a well-conceptualized and compelling array of historical vignettes in the evolution of the 'state'.... They provide a valuable tool for teaching the [state's] long and complex history." —Rodney Bruce Hall, International Studies Review
"Very good.... The Nation-State and Global Order has a straightforward, no-nonsense style that will be easily accessible to students."—Craig Murphy, Wellesley College
"An impressive work ... rich in historical data and substantive arguments." —Siba Grovogui, Johns Hopkins University
