In this article John Rogister draws attention to a survey of recent work being prepared by members of ICHRPI/CIHAE for 1999, on the role of assemblies and parliaments in the development of the modern nation state. He surveys some tendencies emerging from work already published. This suggests how many different contingencies have determined whether any particular assembly developed into a body representative of a nation, or some discrete component of what later became a nation. It is emerging, particularly for the French monarchy, that the received model of representative assemblies of the early-modern period, which in general decline in face of the advance of a centralizing absolutism, needs to be reconsidered. The actual developments arc far more complex.
