Europe, the era of strong states is now ending (1993:3).
Tilly happily admits that his declaration is informed by a "series of speculations, conjectures,
and hypotheses". But let us, at least for the moment, assume that his instinct is right; that the
strong, consolidated Westphalian state really is in decline. The question for students of
contentious politics and international relations is whether the resulting gap a) is cyclical, and will
thus be filled by states’ oft-proven capacity for adjustment and renewal; b) is being filled by
forms of non-territorial institutional governance; or c) is providing space for social movements
and other non-governmental forms of collective action to thrust forward into political space
formally occupied by institutions; or d) some combination of the three.
