Abstract

Francis Fukuyama argued that a fifty-year cycle of civil war lasted from the Norman Conquest until 1688. Reasons are given for questioning this neat cycle. His explanation of the end of civil warfare through emerging national identity, a centralised state and respect for the law is also doubted. The agency of elite settlement remained indispensable for reinforcing these structural changes. Yet although uncertainty perhaps still suppressed investment, physical damage from warfare on home soil was clearly lifted.
