State Formation, Nation-Building, and Mass Politics in Europe (Comparative Politics)

Stein Rokkan was one of the leading social scientist of the post-war world. He was a prolific writer, yet nowhere is his contribution to social science--the conceptual and developmental map of Europe--presented in an integrated and systematic way. Drawing on Rokkan's published, unpublished and translated writings, this book systematizes and integrates Rokkan's numerous writings in the way he himself planned to do.
