The subject of Episode 8 is statehood, government and the military. What is really meant by a “state”, and how did Western states evolve out of their previous empires and kingdoms? What role did armies play in this and what is really the purpose of today’s military infrastructure, given the West’s professed adherence to democracy and the pursuit of peace? This and more is discussed below.
