Abstract: Although much has been written about state making in Europe and in the developing world, there is no one widely-accepted theory of state making. After summarizing much of this inconclusive literature, I borrow from Morgan and Palmer’s foreign policy models to develop a general model of state making intended to subsume the disparate strands of the existing literature. The model focuses on leaders’ efforts to find satisfactory trade offs between state making and efforts at self enrichment, while allowing for the possibility of a variety of policy tools that might enhance either goal, and also allowing for varying efficiencies with which those tools might address the goals. The paper closes with consideration of various empirical obstacles that must be overcome before the model can be tested.
Paper prepared for presentation at the 99
th
annual meeting of the American Political Science
Association, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 28-31 August 2003. Many thanks to Bill Reed for helpful suggestions.
