It will be of interest to scholars and students of political science, political economy and economic history, history, historical sociology, political sociology, law and legal history. How did representative institutions become the central organs of governance in Western Europe? What enabled this distinctive form of political organization and collective action that has proved so durable and influential? The answer has typically been sought either in the realm of ideas, in the Western tradition of individual rights, or in material change, especially the complex interaction of war, taxes, and economic growth. Common to these strands is the belief that representation resulted from weak ruling powers needing to concede rights to powerful social groups. Boucoyannis argues instead that representative institutions were a product of state strength, specifically the capacity to deliver justice across social groups. Enduring and inclusive representative parliaments formed when rulers could exercise power over the most powerful actors in the land and compel them to serve and, especially, to tax them. The language of rights deemed distinctive to the West emerged in response to more effectively imposed collective obligations, especially on those with most power. 650 0 $a Representative government and representation $z Europe. 650 0 $a Political participation $z Europe. 650 0 $a Liberalism $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Taxation $z Europe $x History. 651 0 $a Europe $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a Europe $x Economic conditions. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Liberalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997183 650 7 $a Political participation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069386 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Representative government and representation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094941 650 7 $a Taxation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01143876 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Boucoyannis, Deborah. $t Kings as judges. $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781316678367 $w (OCoLC)1260166573 $w (OCoLC)1260166573 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011313.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B5F03E38A5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
