State Capacity and Economic Development

---

State capacity – the government’s ability to accomplish its
intended policy goals – plays an important role in market-oriented
economic development today. Yet state capacity improvements are
often difficult to achieve. To better understand this puzzle, this
inquiry analyzes the historical origins of state capacity. I evaluate
long-run state development in Western Europe – the birthplace of
both the modern state and modern economic growth – with a focus on
three key inflection points: the rise of the city-state, the rise of the
nation-state, and the rise of the welfare state. To guide this analysis,

I develop a conceptual framework regarding the basic political con-
ditions that enable the state to take effective policy actions. This

framework highlights the government’s challenge to exert proper
authority over both its citizenry and itself. I conclude this inquiry
by analyzing the European state development process relative to
other world regions. This analysis characterizes the basic historical
features that helped make Western Europe different. Overall, by
taking a long-run approach, this inquiry provides a new perspective
on the deep-rooted relationship between state capacity and economic
development.
