OverviewCivility in national and international politics is under siege. In this volume, twelve distinguished sociologists and historians from North America, Europe, and China reflect on the nature and preservation of civility in and between nation states and empires in a set of geographically and historically wide-ranging chapters. Civility protects individual self-determination and expression, promotes productive economic activity and wealth, and is central to political stability and peace within and across political communities. Yet power, always concentrated and endemic in nation states and imperial settings, poses great risks to civility. Guided by the perspective of John A. Hall, who has done more to identify and investigate the intricate relationships between states, nations, the power they hold, and civility than any other contemporary social scientist, States and Nations, Power and Civility offers a set of crisp, in-depth investigations regarding the specific mechanisms of civility and how it may be protected.

Hall, and more widely those interested in an introduction to the range of approaches to comparative, historical, and political social science. - Jonathan Hearn, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh This is an outstanding volume that engages forcefully with various themes central to John Hall's groundbreaking work on nation-states and the relationship between power and civility. - Patrick Baert, Department of Sociology, Cambridge University """The Hallsian perspective is one of the most important ones in comparative-historical sociology, and this volume does an exceptional job of not simply describing work that has been done in the past, or by Hall himself, but making numerous contributions in several areas of research inspired by Hall's work. One of the best edited collections that I have read, this volume is well organized, unified, and coherent."" --Jonathan Eastwood, Laurent Boetsch Term Professor of Sociology, Washington and Lee University "" States and Nations, Power and Civility celebrates and investigates the work of Professor John A.
