    This chapter examines the development of the modern state from the 15th century onwards. It discusses how the modern state formed through the centralization of authority and the development of bureaucracies to deliver public services and extract taxes. Nation-states emerged with clearly defined territories and populations over which they claimed a monopoly of legitimate violence.
