Abstract

The article reassesses the role played by parliaments and other representative structures in the European state-building processes. It points to a need of going beyond the traditional antagonist conception of the relationships between rulers and social forces rooted in comparative historical political science, substituting it with a theory grounded in the concept of political exchange. A preliminary analysis of four cases (Brandenburg-Prussia, Dutch Republic, Poland, and Sweden) is conducted, with the purpose of singling out the “internal” determinants — that is, institutional properties of the assemblies — that allowed them to integrate into the institutional framework of the states in formation, or that hindered such an integration. These determinants are found to consist in three main factors: organisational centralisation, working autonomy, and a significant interdependence relationship with a distinct and relatively autonomous governmental centre.

近代早期欧洲国家建设中的代表大会:来自四个经验的证据
文章重新评估了议会和其他代表机构在欧洲国家建设进程中所发挥的作用。它指出,有必要超越植根于比较历史政治学的统治者与社会力量关系的传统对立概念,代之以基于政治交换概念的理论。对四个案例(勃兰登堡-普鲁士、荷兰共和国、波兰和瑞典)进行了初步分析,目的是找出“内部”决定因素,即议会的制度属性,这些决定因素使议会能够融入正在形成的国家的制度框架,或阻碍这种一体化。这些决定因素由三个主要因素组成:组织集中、工作自主,以及与一个独特且相对自主的政府中心的重要相互依存关系。
