State Formation in Early Modern England, C.1550-1700 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book examines the development of the English state during the long seventeenth century, emphasising the impersonal forces which shape the uses of political power, rather than the purposeful actions of individuals or groups. It is a study of state formation rather than of state building. The author's approach does not however rule out the possibility of discerning patterns in the development of the state, and a coherent account emerges which offers some alternative answers to relatively well-established questions. In particular, it is argued that the development of the state in this period was shaped in important ways by social interests - particularly those of class, gender and age. It is also argued that this period saw significant changes in the form and functioning of the state which were, in some sense, modernising. The book therefore offers a narrative of the development of the state in the aftermath of revisionism.

The State and Social Change in Early Modern England, C. 1550-1640 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "This is a study of the social and cultural implications of the growth of governance which occurred in England in the context of social and economic change in the century after 1550. Although historians have long associated this period with centralization, with the quickening tempo of local administration, and with an increase in litigation, these trends have usually been discussed in isolation. This book analyses the relationship between these historiographies of government by exploring the growth and elaboration of the role of the early modern state. It is less concerned with institutional development than with the cultural role played by the middling sort in social and political regulation, especially through recourse to law."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Schooling and State Formation in Early Modern Sweden available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In this book the emergence of schools in urban Sweden between the seventeenth and the nineteenth century provides the framework for a history of children and of childhood. It is a study through the lens of the changes in early modern education, spatial aspect of the life of children and systems of governance in the early modern Swedish state. Educational systems defined the spatial aspects of childhood—where children were supposed to grow up, in the home, the school, the streets and alleys, or the place of work—over a period of about two hundred years. Schools and education represent both a mental and a physical space; an abstract place for children as well as a local and concrete place for them, which stood out against the alternative spatial aspects of the life of children. It is also a study of how different cultural systems influence the definitions of childhood and schools, in the context of church and home instruction, poor relief, policing, surveillance, and the question of why children went to schools. It examines the role of the school as childcare and as a provider of food, shelter and welfare, and as governance.

War and the State in Early Modern Europe available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw many ambitious European rulers develop permanent armies and navies. War and the State in Early Modern Europe examines this military change as a central part of the political, social and economic transformation of early modern Europe. This important study exposes the economic structures necessary for supporting permanent military organisations across Europe. Large armed forces could not develop successfully without various interest groups who needed protection and were willing to pay for it. Arguing that early fiscal-military states were in fact protection-selling enterprises, the author focuses on: * Spain, the Dutch Republic and Sweden * the role of local elites * the political and organisational aspects of this new military development
