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.
