THE CHARACTER OF THE NAZI STATE AND HITLER'S ROLE IN IT HAVE ALWAYS POSED A PROBLEM FOR HISTORICAL EXPLANATION. WHILE STATIC LIBERAL THEORIES OF TOTALITARIANISM HAVE FAILED TO PROBE BENEATH THE SURFACE OF POLITICAL FORM, OR EVEN TO ACCOUNT FOR THE STRUCTURAL COMPLEXITY OF THE THIRD REICH, SIMPLISTIC ECONOMIC DETERMINISM IS UNABLE TO GRASP THE RELATIVE AUTONOMY OF THE MOVEMENT THAT CULMINATED IN THE EXTERMINATION CAMPS AND DEMENTIA. DRAWING ON ALTERNATIVE TRADITIONS OF ANALYSIS, THIS ESSAY ARGUES THAT THE NAZI PERIOD CAN ONLY BE UNDERSTOOD IN TERMS OF A SHIFTING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BIG CAPITAL, THE STATE AND THE PARTY, AND HITLER HIMSELF.

On the night of the 2000 presidential election, Americans watched on television as polling results divided the nation's map into red and blue states. Since then the color divide has become symbolic of a culture war that thrives on stereotypes--pickup-driving red-state Republicans who vote based on God, guns, and gays; and elitist blue-state Democrats woefully out of touch with heartland values. With wit and prodigious number crunching, Andrew Gelman debunks these and other political myths. This expanded edition includes new data and easy-to-read graphics explaining the 2008 election.

This article seeks to take stock of the insights offered by the fast-growing literature on comparative state formation, which is treated here as a neglected offshoot of the "bringing the state back in movement of the 1980s. Unlike previous Eurocentric reviews of this literature, this article includes works that range broadly in time and geography. The author focuses particularly on two areas of interest to political scientists: the causes of bureaucratic centralization and the origins of durable democratic/authoritarian institutions. The author also shows how the literature has reconceptualized the state in response to long-standing criticisms directed at this concept. The concept remains useful in political science despite impressions otherwise. Adapted from the source document.

This paper develops a predatory theory approach to understanding state failure. Predatory theory expects that state revenue extraction is central to the ability of states to engage in any other activities. States that are able to maximize their revenue extraction subject to well-known constraints are therefore likely to avoid state failure. On the other hand, when state failure occurs, it should reduce state revenue extraction. These hypotheses receive mixed support in several two-stage least-squares time-series analyses that control for the endogenous relationship between state fiscal capacity and state failure. While state failure reduces state fiscal capacity, state fiscal capacity does not deter state failure onset or incidence. In the sub-Saharan African subsample, state fiscal capacity does reduce the incidence of state failure despite a reciprocal negative effect. Adapted from the source document.
