Sumario: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.
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.
