| Sumario: | "A major contribution to the field of comparative state formation and the scholarship on long-term political development of Latin America.

Sebastian Mazzuca argues this is because nineteenth-century Latin American state formation occurred in a period when commerce, rather than war, was the key driver forging countries.
