What's at Stake in the American Empire Debate
Daniel H. Nexon,Tommy Wright +1 more
TL;DR: The authors argue that the existence of imperial relations alters the dynamics of international politics: processes of divide and rule supplant the balance-of-power mechanism; the major axis of relations shift from interstate to those among imperial authorities, local intermediaries, and other peripheral actors; and preeminent powers face special problems of legitimating their bargains across heterogeneous audiences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Divide and Conquer or Divide and Concede: How Do States Respond to Internally Divided Separatists?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the role of the internal characteristics of self-determination movements and demonstrate that their internal structures play a major role in determining which groups get concessions, which suggests that states use concessions not only as a tool to resolve disputes, but also as part of the bargaining process.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Rise of the Nation-State across the World, 1816 to 2001
Andreas Wimmer,Yuval Feinstein +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a new dataset with information on 145 of today's states to understand why the nation-state proliferated across the world over the past 200 years, replacing empires, kingdoms, city-states, and the like.
Journal ArticleDOI
Friends in High Places: International Politics and the Emergence of States from Secessionism
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an international-level model of state birth that suggests state leaders should use decisions regarding new members strategically to advance their own interests, not passively abide by domestic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
City.State: critique of scalar thought
TL;DR: The scalar thought that undergirds our understanding of modern bodies politic (cities, regions, nations, states, leagues, federations) assumes exclusive, hierarchical and ahistorical relationships among and between these bodies and conceals their fluid, multiple and overlapping forms of existence as discussed by the authors.
