Summary
Chapter 8 expands on the theoretical implications for the study of state building, public safety, and taxation. It also discusses the security benefits that elites’ investment in strengthening the state has brought about in the region. Further, the final chapter addresses the sustainability of the state-building efforts discussed in the book and their potential consequences for other aspects of political and economic development.
