Resumen
The central theme of this paper is the role of landed elites in the historical process of national state building. The theme is initially approached from a theoretical angle, discussing Barrington Moore's ideas concerning the rural world's role in the consolidation of a liberal-bourgeois path to modernity. Two new analytic dimensions are presented next in order to make Moore's model more fruitful. The second part of the paper is devoted to a brief reinterpretation of the Brazilian historical process from the abolition of slavery to the 1930 Revolution based on the theoretical propositions discussed earlier. Finally, the paper presents a comparative historical analysis indicating parallels and contrasts between the national experiences of Brazil and Germany. Comparative analysis is seen as a necessary means for the theoretical understanding of single national processes as well as for the development of theory building.
