State-Making and the Origins of Global Order
in the Long Nineteenth Century and Beyond
STANCE was a 6-year research program built on the following research question:
How did state-making and the international system co-evolve in the long 19th century (1789-1914) and beyond?
How did state-making and the international system co-evolve in the long 19th century (1789-1914) and beyond?
|
The program was constructed around three research themes: (1) How did the different dimensions of state-making evolve? What actors and organized interests supported or put up resistance to these processes?; (2) How were these dimensions of state-making affected by geopolitical competition, warfare and the diffusion of novel political technologies?; and (3) What were the consequences for the international system, both with respect to the type of state that emerged and what entities were granted membership in the state system?
