Steinmo Sven. The Evolution of Modern States. Sweden, Japan, and the United States

Cambridge University Press, 2010. — 288 p.“Taking the evolution of complex adaptive systems as its starting point, Steinmo invites us to rethink what we think we know about the issues of globalization and institutional change. In doing so the continued success of Sweden, the prolonged stagnation of Japan, and the hidden costs of the American model become all become explicable within the same framework of analysis.”
