CON�ERENCE REPORT Three Debates Revisited. Symposium to mark the 25th Anniversary of the German Historical Institute London, held at the GHIL on 15–16 November 2001. The modern state in Germany and Britain and explanatory models of state theory provided the unifying theme of the papers presented at the German Historical Institute’s 25th anniversary symposium, held at the GHIL’s premises in Bloomsbury Square. The individual sessions looked at the genesis of modern statehood c. 1600– 1800, its conceptual reflection in modern state and social theory (Otto Hintze, Max Weber), and the validity of functionalist versus intentionalist explanatory models of the German fascist state and regime. The symposium opened with three contributions discussing the main features of British and German state-building processes from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. In his introductory speech, Hartmut Lehmann (Göttingen) drew attention to the emergence of denominational churches and the growth of confessional awareness as intellectual adjuncts, and to some extent preconditions, of these processes. Ronald G. Asch (Osnabrück) outlined past and present historiographical paradigms of the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century origins of state formation in the British Isles and the Holy Roman Empire. The rise of the modern state constituted one of the central themes of German historical scholarship for much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, not least because German national experience of statehood was felt to be defective by European standards. However, the traumatic experience of the National Socialist state as the ultimate manifestation of the undemocratic Machtstaat led to a reassessment of stereotypes of national state formation which had hitherto been uncritically accepted. Among the new developments in post-war German historiography was a positive reassessment of the Holy Roman Empire’s constitutional structure. �rom the 1960s onwards, historians began to investigate the social origins of Germany’s path to 1933. German re-unification revived the longstanding debate on the existence of a German Sonderweg, but the exponents of a ‘re-revised’ view of the Holy Roman Empire now stress 119
