Boundaries have been the focus of academic study both for their historiographical importanceand for social theory (sociology). The latter considers them both metaphoricallyand materially. The boundaries of the modern State are material, rather than metaphorical,together with all administrative boundaries of every single State. Indeed, one could claimthat the State came into being when its boundaries were outlined, even though they are notconsistent with the boundaries of social groups and nations. Where the origin of the State isconcerned, however, there is no consensus between social theory and historiography of publicadministration. The first emerges between the 11th and 13th centuries, with the DictatusPapae of Gregory VII (1075) and the Concordat of Worms (1122). Once the uncertainty overthe boundaries of ecclesiastical jurisdiction was overcome, which was superimposed on thesecular, the need emerged to determine the territorial areas of loyalty where sovereigns areconcerned ('absolute power'). Historiography claims, instead, that the modern State can onlybe considered in continental Europe as a process and a phenomenon of public administration(16th-18th centuries).
