He describes Israel, Judah, Ammon, Moab and Edom as "ethnic states": ''Politics integrated by means of identity, especially ethnicity, which are territorially based... they are novel and historically contingent political systems which appear in the Levant during the first millennium BCE thanks ot the confluence of several factors, not least the collapse of imperial domination and the longstanding city-state system." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander H.
