Synopsis

This book systematically compares the national unification processes of Germany and Italy, two countries often seen as examples of failed modernization in Europe. It examines the origins of these nation-states and sheds new light on the broader nature of European political development. The analysis offers a fresh perspective on federalism's origins, appealing to those interested in comparative politics and European history.
