The State
View through CrossRef
This chapter highlights several prominent themes in both the evolution of the modern British state across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and the literature surrounding it. A focus on questions and concerns such as the perception of the proper role, and limits, of the state, and on the interaction of the state with a developing civil society, frames an analysis of the scope and meaning of the state in modern Britain. The chapter ends by exploring opportunities for future research: how government and ‘governmentality’ might be brought into more fruitful scholarly conversation with one another; how we conceptualize the relationships between central and local government; and how historians might assess Britons’ shifting attitudes towards the state.
