Review
"What is the nature of the modern state, what were its origins, and what seem to be the present trends? In answering these questions . . . Poggi succeeds in presenting a well-informed but elegantly parsimonious statement. . . . In its historical depth and concise exposition, it should make very worthwhile reading for graduate students and many of their teachers. . . . An excellent historical introduction for political sociologies."
--Guenther Roth
, Contemporary Sociology
"A brief but careful introduction to the major forms of the political realm since the Carolingian period in Western Europe. . . . The author treats several prominent forms of political rule: feudal rule, rule by the Standestaat, rule by the absolutist regimes, rule by the nineteenth-century constitutional state, and the rule of present-day liberal regimes. He tells history well, with an admirably lucid and concise prose; and it is a story that is occasionally as penetrating as it is consistently informative."
--Anthony M. Orum
, Social Forces
"Poggi's expressed intent, namely to render intelligible centuries of political development via the presentation of a succession of highly abstract models . . . is achieved with clarity and distinction and in the process opens vistas for further exploration. . . . The book provides a useful base from which to launch a course on the modern state."
