El trabajo revisa la secuencia de las cuatro "generaciones" de teorías sociológicas de la revolución, contemplándola como un proceso de selección histórico-natural del conocimiento mejor adaptado a su objeto. A su vez, la revolución moderna se presenta como el proceso de cambio social evolucionista por excelencia. A través de ella, sin ninguna forma de determinismo, las sociedades tienden a seleccionar en la historia las modalidades de organización social -o "variedades", según Bagehot- que mejor contribuyen al progreso de la civilización, definida ésta como edad post-axial, de acuerdo con Jaspers y Eisenstadt. La mundanización del impulso axial hacia la trascendencia explica el carácter catártico de los procesos revolucionarios modernos y permite distinguirlos de las revoluciones premodernas y de otros procesos formalmente similares. Finalmente, el modelo de elección racional permite contemplar las tres modalidades principales de revolución moderna -liberal, socialista y democrática- bajo un mismo prisma analítico, en el que unas y otras "variedades" revolucionarias aparecen al mismo tiempo como alternativas y como opciones sucesivas, compitiendo todas ellas con el modelo paretiano de circulación de las élites, de carácter también estrictamente evolucionista.

“…In particular, Danish historians have ascribed significance to the agrarian reforms of the late eighteenth century when exploring the rise of the Danish nation (Feldbaek, 1991b, pp. 190Á92;Damsholt, 2003;Kaspersen, 2004). The Law of Indigenous Rights was introduced in 1776.…”

“…The resources and efforts now available for use surpassed all conventional limits; nothing now impeded the vigour with which war could be waged, and consequently the opponents of France faced the utmost peril. (Clausewitz, 1993: 715-6) Following Clausewitz, it has been argued that the French Revolution was a military development to which the other countries within the European state system had to react (Kaspersen, 2004a). The morale of the soldiers and the entire French population was of crucial importance in the wars that France waged and won in the years after the great Revolution.…”

“…The events in France and what followed on the battlefield inspired Denmark to base its armies on the principle of conscription. This change in the defence policy of the Danish state was to have crucial consequences for the organization of the Danish state, including the transformation from absolutism to democracy (Kaspersen, 2004a).…”

“…The burghers' leaders were afraid that the government would accede to the demands of the German-speaking community in Schleswig-Holstein, who were supported by Prussia. The military force of the Prussian army exceeded the capabilities of the Danish defence (Kaspersen, 2004a). If Prussia were to move in support of the Schleswig-Holstein cause, it would be impossible for the Danish king to defend his territory.…”

Towards a New Approach to Secularization: Religion, Education and the State in Denmark, 1721—1900

The author attempts to develop a new approach to the process of secularization. It is argued that the existing theories of secularization have failed to pay sufficient attention to the state. Here, the state is regarded as an actor with interests among which the maintenance of sovereignty vis-à-vis other states is vital. The author has analysed Danish state policies with regard to the teaching of religion in elementary schools from 1700 onwards. The founding of schools in the early 18th century was crucial to the establishment of the “Sacred Canopy”, since schools were almost exclusively devoted to the teaching of religion. These schools had a primarily military purpose. From the 18th century onwards the teaching of religion in Denmark changed according to the external relations of the state and state bodies, i.e. on the primary or vital interests of the state.
