Preferred term
European state formation
Definition(s)
- Institutions possessing features now identified with statehood began to emerge in many European societies during the investiture controversies of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. These controversies led to an increasingly strict separation between secular and religious authority, and in so doing they consolidated centralized political institutions as societal actors charged with a body of increasingly differentiated public functions.
