Archaeology of the Origin of the State: The Theories
Lull, Vicente (, Professor of Prehistory at the Autonomous University of Barcelona)
A critically acute summary of the main theories about the 'State', from Greek antiquity to the present. The authors highlight the importance of archaeology to our knowledge of how the first States were formed and how they functioned. They also ask what conditions of social production led to the State arising as the self-interested regulator of social relationships.
