The article provides an overview and outline of key political and state problems in the early modern era in Western Europe. The new era shows politics in a new way as liberation politics and creates a new kind of political system – the state, which from then on is a permanent element of the culture of Europe in a broad sense. The state is also a kind of European ‘commodity’ exported all over the world. The article describes the close relationship between modern politics and the state as a product of occidental rationalism.
