摘要

著名的国家形成理论认为，国家的形成一方面是由于战争和竞争，另一方面是由于组织模式和实践通过学习和模仿而扩散。我们提出，这两种理论可以更准确地解释国家形成的机制。我们认为，战争是社会扩散的一个重要来源。战争建立了跨越国界的政治精英之间的联系，产生了移民流动，并建立了新的经济网络。我们通过对北欧政治单位从维京时代初期到中世纪盛期末期(公元800-1300年)的比较案例研究来检验这一理论的有效性，发现挪威和丹麦统治者在欧洲最先进的王国英格兰的突袭、定居和征服，启动了挪威和丹麦的国家形成过程。在这些案例中，赢家模仿输家。

Wisdom Is Welcome Wherever It Comes From: War, Diffusion, and State Formation in Scandinavia

Abstract Prominent theories of state formation hold that states formed because of warfare and competition on the one hand, or the diffusion of organizational templates and practices through learning and emulation on the other. We propose that the two strands of theory can be linked to more accurately account for mechanisms of state formation. War, we argue, is an important source of social diffusion. War establishes contacts between political elites across borders, generates migratory flows, and establishes new economic networks. We examine the validity of the theory through a comparative case study of Nordic political units from the dawn of the Viking Age to the end of the High Middle Ages (CE 800–1300), finding that raids, settlements, and conquests by Norwegian and Danish rulers in England, Europe's most advanced kingdom, set in motion state formation processes in Norway and Denmark. In these cases, the winners emulated the losers.
