The central problem addressed by the author concerns the great variety in the kinds of state that have prevailed in Europe since AD 990.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessor Tilly shows how interactions between the wielders of power on the one hand and the manipulators of capital on the other resulted in three state formations, each of which prevailed over long periods: tribute-taking empires, systems of fragmented sovereignty, and national states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe argues that to conceive European state development as a simple, unilinear process is untenable, and further, that relations between the states themselves are a significant factor in their formation and evolution.
