history of the Reform Movement in Western Europe and the Growth of Capitalism

A discussion of the historical development of capitalism can not be separated from a discussion of the historical development of the social order in Western Europe.
Growing and development what is in the context of international relations referred to as the international community also came from Europe. The international community is meant here is a society whose members consist of countries. Formal juridical point of inception of the international community which is also the starting point of the international community which is also the starting point for the birth of the national state is when the Treaty was signed in 1648. West Phalia in the context of international relations phalia west agreements have the following roles!
First, it ended the rule of the Roman empire on the countries in Europe. Countries that had previously been part of the Roman empire empire of more than three hundred states officially declared themselves have the right to have fellowship with other countries. Thus, the former colony of the Roman empire is becoming increasing international private capacity as supreme authority over the territory (territorial supremacy);
Second, as a result of their detachment from the power of the Roman empire, the relationship between the state began to be released from the influence of the church
Third, laying the foundations of the existence of the international community, namely that; (a) any country within its borders has exclusive authority (territorial supremacy); (b) there is no supranational authority can impose their will on the country. When the countries newly born, the relationship between members of the community in the state or inter-state relations are still dominated by the influence of church law that has prevailed for centuries. Economic system that live in the community is a small periodic economic system, the society is a traditional society that bersfiat cyclical, where socioeconomic life circling the local site.

Circumstances later changed when the wave of industrialization swept the Western European countries. In the traditional society changes, where small-scale economic system began to be shaken by the presence of industrialization as a large-scale economic system. Actually, because of the influence of industrialization came the Renaissance era that swept Europe in the fifteenth century. As is known, in the development of the social order in Europe there is a division stages of development of the social order which includes:

- Age of the Roman Empire, from AD 27 until the year 476 AD
- Middle Ages, from the year 476 to 1492
- Age Renaisen of the year 1493 - 1650
- Period Aufklarung (Enlightenment or Age of Rationalism) from 1650 until the early 1800s
- Nineteenth Century (Simplified)

Each stage is characterized by a social order which reflects the development of human thought at the time in question. In the author's view, the emergence of capitalism is closely linked to the development of thinking and social order starting from the Renaissance Period.

In practice, the understanding of capitalism has driven and requires an expansion to the outside in the form of market share, the source of supply of raw materials and labor as cheaply as possible. Scramble and market share, the source of supply of raw materials and labor is essentially aims to ensure the sustainability of capital accumulation of the country of origin. It is this process which gave birth to the history of conquest (imperialism) and occupation (colonialism).

The era of imperialism and capitalism took place in the 18th century and the 19th but by the mid 20th century and colonialism practice physical imperealisme been relatively lost, because after the Second World War, the colonies begin to free themselves from the shackles of colonialism. Starting in the mid-20th century is slowly but surely emerged a new form of imperialism known as neo-liberalism. Unlike the old imperialism, in a new form of military force is not a major mainstay in the conquest of ex post-colonial. The force that became the mainstay now is competitiveness in a system that favor free trade.
