中文简介:
借鉴历史社会学的理论,我们模拟了近代早期欧洲领土国家的出现。我们的建模工作集中在从间接规则到直接规则的转换方面的系统更改。我们首先介绍一个一维模型,它捕获组织和地理距离之间的权衡。在第二步中,我们提出了一个基于代理的模型,该模型以具有不同组织级别的状态为特征。该模型明确地表示征服的因果机制和通过组织旁路过程的内部状态构建。计算结果证实了我们的假设,即技术变革足以引发现代直接国家等级制度的出现。我们的理论发现表明,从间接规则到直接规则的历史转换,是以逻辑形式(而不是通常假定的指数形式)的强度损失梯度为前提的。
课程简介: Drawing on theories of historical sociology, we model the emergence of the territorial state in early modern Europe. Our modeling effort focuses on systems change with respect to the shift from indirect to direct rule. We first introduce a one-dimensional model that captures the tradeoff between organizational and geographic distances. In a second step, we present an agent-based model that features states with a varying number of organizational levels. This model explicitly represents causal mechanisms of conquest and internal state-building through organizational bypass processes. The computational findings confirm our hypothesis that technological change is sufficient to trigger the emergence of modern, direct state hierarchies. Our theoretical findings indicate that the historical transformation from indirect to direct rule presupposes a logistical, rather than the commonly assumed exponential, form of the loss-of-strength gradient.
