Abstract:This paper challenges the universality of the positive relationship between the war and state making. To help determine the political response to armed conflict , availability of external resources, state organizational capacity and alliances with social actors are shown. The importance of causal sequence in determining the effect of war, is emphasized. In Latin America states were not made by war because it occurred in different historical circumstances than during the "military revolution" in Europe. War cannot contribute to institutional development without the prior establishment of political authority and a link between such organization and social actors.
