Resistance, Representation and Community - Representation and Community

Klappentext In Resistance, Representation, and Community, Peter Blickle gathers a wealth of scholarly expertise for a Pan-European perspective on the social history of state-formation. Tracing the origins of the modern state to medieval political structures, the contributors explore the influence of the people and their communal organizations--ranging from rural parish meeting to powerful city council-- on the continuing development of an evolving Europe. Zusammenfassung Since the end of World War II, the process of democratization has shifted government policy away from foreign affairs, towards internal matters. This text examines the role of the city constitution, the concept of representation, and developments in rural settlements.
