Warfare and State Formation – Comparing states, regions, and theoretical perspectives

Network of War Experiences (Krigserfaringer) and Center for Business and Politics, CBS are organizing a conference/workshop at Copenhagen Business School, September 28th and 29th 2006.

  • The relationship between warfare and state formation, state consolidation, and state decline

  • The validity of the war making-state making thesis. To what extent is the thesis sustainable and to what extend do we need to add other explanations?

  • How valid is warfare as an independent variable?

  • What is the status of the warfare thesis? In what direction do we need to move in order to analyze state formation and state consolidation processes?
