Mihai Varga
Kommentar
In this class we discuss the major theories regarding the emergence and development of democratic states in Europe, and expand our discussion by studying the workings of reforming post-communist states: after all, the character and capacity of the state has been arguably the major variable for explaining the post-communist countries’ trajectory throughout transition towards market economy and democracy. Inspired by the classical texts by Barrington Moore, Charles Tilly, and James C. Scott, we cover a diverse range of topics, from the place of war (Tilly) and land reform and urbanization (Moore) in the creation of modern states in Europe, to state retrenchment and the anti-corruption agenda under the neo-liberal paradigm, and the present-day agenda in defense of “national interests” of “national-conservatives” in Eastern Europe.
