Although agreement possibly exists on the fact that the age of the states-order is coming to its end, however developments in the last decades and the problems the states must afford lead usually to opposite insights about their future and the roles they played in the past. Against this background the article discusses the shortcomings of the political philosophy and the bias of many social interpretations of the historical growth of the European states. On the basis of recent studies, the article stresses the importance of the early moments of the state-building process as a key period, which reshaped the relationships between individuals, providing a new legitimation basis for political power and further reforms.
