Specifically, Tilly charges that most available explanations fail because they do not account for the great variety of kinds of states which were viable at different stages of European history, and because they assume a unilinear path of state development resolving in today's national state. \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Cities and States in World History 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStates in History 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAvailable Answers 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLogics of Capital and Coercion 16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWar Drives State Formation and Transformation 20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLong Trends and Interactions 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProspects 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 European Cities and States 38\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbsent Europe 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStates and Coercion 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCities and Capital 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCity–State Interaction 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eState Physiologies 54\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLiaisons Dangereuses 58\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlternative Forms of State 62\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 How War Made States, and Vice Versa 67\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Bifurcation of Violence 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow States Controlled Coercion 68\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWars 70\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTransitions 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeizing, Making, or Buying Coercion 84\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePaying the Debts 87\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Long, Strong Arm of Empire 91\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 States and their Citizens 96\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom Wasps to Locomotives 96\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBargaining, Rights, and Collective Action 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Institution of Direct Rule 103\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe French Revolution: From Indirect to Direct Rule 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eState Expansion, Direct Rule, and Nationalism 114\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnintended Burdens 117\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMilitarization = Civilianization 122\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Lineages of the National State 127\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChina and Europe 127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStates and Cities Reexamined 130\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoercive Trajectories 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCapitalist Trajectories 143\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTrajectories of Capitalized Coercion 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 The European State System 161\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Connectedness of European States 161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Ends of Wars 165\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMembers of the System 170\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Creation of a State-Linked World 181\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow Wars Began 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSix Salient Questions 187\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7 Soldiers and States in 1992 192\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePolitical Misdevelopment 192\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Impact and Heritage of World War II 197\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Ascent of Military Men 203\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eToday’s Military in Historical Perspective 205\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMilitary Buildup 209\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSoldiers in Power 211\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow Did the Military Gain Power? 217\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnvoi 224\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 228\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 263\u003c\/p\u003e  \"Closely argued and thought-provoking book.\" \u003ci\u003eEconomic History Review\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Tilly's thesis is presented with great lucidity... contributed to perform a service not merely for historians, but for mankind.\" \u003ci\u003eFrench History\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"An important, provocative theory, with much originality and richly documented .... extremely well written.\" \u003ci\u003eAmerican Journal of Sociology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This is a good and important book.

The central problem addressed by the author concerns the great variety in the kinds of state that have prevailed in Europe since AD 990.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eProfessor Tilly shows how interactions between the wielders of power on the one hand and the manipulators of capital on the other resulted in three state formations each of which prevailed over long periods - tribute-taking empires, systems of fragmented sovereignty, and national states. he argues that to conceive European state development as a simple, unilinear process is untenable, and further that relations between the states themselves are a big factor in their formation and evolution.
