Beschreibung

People/States/Territories examines the role of state personnel in shaping, and being shaped by, state organizations and territories, and demonstrates how agents have actively contributed to the reproduction and transformation of the British state over the long term. * A valuable corrective to recent characterizations of territory as a static and given geographical concept * An explication of the political geographies of state reproduction and transformation, through its focus on state territoriality and the variegated character of state power * Considerable empirical insight into the consolidation of the British state over the long term.

Rezensionen

Joe Painter, Durham University
"Peoples/States/Territories is an extremely important book. It provides a compelling historical analysis of the British state and will be of interest to geographers, political scientists, historians and sociologists. It is the best account we have on the territorial foundations of British political authority and demonstrates the enormous potential of integrating techniques and ideas from both historical and political geography." Mike Heffernan, University of Nottingham <!--end--> "This is an original and well written book that will add significantly to arguments about state formation in the UK. It brings a valuable historical perspective to the debate and turns an overdue spotlight on the role of people in the shaping of state institutions."
