The Epoch of the Initial Politogenesis.
Social Evolution & History. 2009. Vol. 8. No. 1. P. 52–91.
We present a general theoretical analysis of processes and models of the formation and development of polities, starting with the level of simple chiefdoms and their analogues up to the level of the early states and their analogues. This macroevolutionary process is ge-nerally denoted here as primary (initial) politogenesis, whereas the early state formation process is regarded as a component of the politogenesis. The analysis of politogenesis is made against the wide background of late archaic and early civilizational processes.

Trade sanctions generate asymmetric shocks in developing economies, reshaping their integration into global value chains (GVCs). Using a gravity framework covering 68 developing countries over the period 2000–2021, this paper examines how sanctions affect forward and backward GVC linkages. We find that sanctions significantly reduce both dimensions of GVC participation: backward linkages suffer deeper and ...

Фашизм традиционно считался иррациональным и антиинтеллектуальным феноменом, ведомым мистицизмом и приверженным хаосу и грубой жестокости. Настоящее издание — итог почти четырех десятилетий исследований одного из ведущих экспертов по этому вопросу, американского историка Энтони Джеймса Грегора. Он утверждает, что итальянский фашизм был не более и не менее иррациональным, чем другие революционные идеологии XX века. Грегор прослеживает историю ...

We propose double machine learning (DML) estimators for a partially linear model (PLM) with endogenous treatments and multivariate sample selection. We prove asymptotic normality of the estimators under mild regularity conditions and study finite sample properties on simulated data. The results demonstrate the importance of addressing sample selection in PLMs and the usefulness of the ...

In recent years, a kind of “Berlin Wall” has emerged between the study of “revolutions” and “maximalist campaigns.” Although scholars in these two traditions analyze closely related phenomena, they use different terminology, bodies of literature, and empirical conventions. We argue that this separation is analytically costly and prevents fruitful dialogue. On one hand, this leads ...

Complexity is widely acknowledged as a foundational and pivotal concept in Big History, offering a unifying lens through which to examine the emergence and development of systems—from particles and galaxies to life, civilizations, and beyond. Yet, despite its centrality, major gaps remain in how we define, measure, and interpret complexity across different phases and scales. ...

Governance is rapidly digitising, yet how citizens’ emotions towards algorithmic policy decision-making relate to their trust in governance institutions remains understudied. Drawing on the affect-as-information model, we argue that emotions constitute a distinct input into institutional trust judgements, operating both directly and by conditioning the weight of cognitive evaluations. We test this argument with a ...

Within narrowly defined industries, the most productive firms produce far more than the least productive from the same inputs, and this dispersion widens in downturns. We build a tractable representative-agent model in which financial frictions—adverse selection and moral hazard—make firms sort endogenously into lenders, strategic defaulters, and producers. As credit conditions vary, the resulting misallocation ...
