| Sumario: | To date, the world can lay claim to little more than 190 sovereign independent entities recognized as nation-states, while by some estimates there may be up to eight hundred more nation-state projects underway and seven to eight thousand potential projects. Why do a few such endeavors come to fruition while most fail? Standard explanations have pointed to national awakenings, nationalist mobilizations, economic efficiency, military prowess, or intervention by the great powers. Almost all successful nation-state projects have been associated with a particular political institution prior to independence - the segment-state. This text clarifies this link through narrative evidence from Central Eurasia, a rigorous theory, and extensive statistical tests. |
