| Abstract Text | In this paper, the author analyzes different political regimes (empires, nation-states, and democracies) in a number of institutional and economic dimensions: tendency towards geographical expansionism or fragmentation, cultural heterogeneity, focus of public spending, and a number of other variables. He uses this setup to analyze the coexistence and interactions between empires, nation-states, and democracies. While these interactions are source of instability, he argues that modern economic development tends to doom empires that were once the dominant form of political regime in history. |
