Abstract

This article proposes a reflection on the phenomenon of Nazism from the development of the institutional dimensions of modernity in Germany in the 19th and 20th centuries. We highlight some relevant characteristics: the fragility of the state monopoly on violence, the importance of military power, the absence of pacification at home and the formation of a bourgeoisie with aristocratic values, after the process of late unification. The realization of this bibliographic research has as main theoretical frameworks the works The consequences of modernity, by Anthony Giddens, and The Germans: The struggle for power and the evolution of habitus in the 19th and 20th centuries, by Norbert Elias. The analytical reflection carried out in this research discusses the hypothesis that an anomalous development of the institutional dimensions of modernity is, to a large extent, one of the factors that consolidated in Germany in the 19th and 20th centuries intense traits of a pre-modern State, which, in turn, time, they were configured in crucial aspects to enable the rise of Nazism in that country.
