OF OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT AND CIRCULATION

To examine the origins of democracy and dictatorship, Brian Downing'focuses on the importance of medieval political configurations and of military modernization in the early modern period. Downing maintains that in late medieval times an array of constitutional arrangements distinguished Western Europe from other parts of the world and predisposed it toward liberal democracy. He then looks at how medieval constitutional-ism was affected by the "military revolution" of the early modern era—the shift from small, decentralized feudal levies to large standing armies. "The author's emphasis on the role of the instruments of violence and repression in inhibiting liberal and democratic trends is new to scholarship and quite convincing. Here is comparative history at its best" — Barrington Moore, Jr. Cloth
