Content introduction
This book is an empirical study of political science on the formation of nation-states and the causes of war. The authors construct a new database based on several major international databases, covering conflicts in 150 territories between 1816 and 2001. Through a quantitative historical analysis of the world conflict database, this book focuses on the history of empire expansion and nation-state formation. From the perspective of power configuration and legitimacy, it explains the process of the transformation of the world's major state types from empire, dynastic state, tribal alliance, city state to nation-state in the past two hundred years. It also explores the influence of nation-state formation and ethnic politics on the wars of the past two hundred years.
