NAME:
The formation of States was certainly different in Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia. Current states, especially in Latin America – where the institutions of local populations that existed at the time of the conquest or were eliminated, as in the case of Mexico and from Peru, or were fragile, as in the case of Brazil -, are the result, in general, of the evolution of the transplantation of European institutions made by the metropolises to their colonies. In Africa, the colonies had arbitrarily drawn borders, separating ethnicities, languages and traditions, which later survived the process of decolonization, giving rise to conflicts that often have their true origin in disputes over the exploitation of resources natural. In Asia, European colonization took place more indirectly and found more sophisticated political and administrative systems, which it superimposed. Today those earlier forms of organization, or at least their spirit, survive in the political organizations of the Asian state.
