摘要: 近年来欧洲城市史研究出现了国家维度的考察。与以往强调自治城市的传统不同,新的研究视角注重国家与城市之间的互动,从城市考察国家的发展。法国民族国家构建是一个漫长的时空演进过程,并非完全是近代建构的产物,中世纪晚期的城市发展为其奠定了空间基础。瓦卢瓦王朝对封建领地的控制和在边疆地带的拓展,有效推动了君主的领土国家的形成。王权为了有效控制国家和扩展领土,在区域性中心城市召集等级议会、设立法院,整合全国交通,强化经济布局,在一些主要城市发展起全国性市场,改造边疆城市,这些措施体现了围绕着城市展开的以强化王权为中心的法国现代国家的缔造过程。从城市看国家的形成为我们考察城市史和现代国家形成提供了一个新视角。

Abstract: In recent years, the study of European urban history has witnessed the rise of the national perspective. Different from the tradition of emphasizing autonomous cities, this new perspective focuses on the interaction between a nation-state and its cities, and examines the nation-state development by investigating the cities. The construction of France as a nation-state is a long process of temporal and spatial evolution. It was not merely a product of modern construction, since the development of the city in the late Middle Ages had laid a spatial foundation for it. The control of the feudal territory and the expansion of the border areas by the Valois Dynasty effectively promoted the formation of the monarchy's territorial state. In order to effectively control the country and expand the territory, the crown convened hierarchical councils in regional central cities, set up courts, integrated national transportation and strengthened national economic layout, developed national markets in major cities and transformed frontier cities. These measures reflected the creation of France as a modern nation-state based on cities and centered on strengthening the kingship. Studying the formation of a country by investigating a city provides us with a new perspective.
