The Boundaries of the State in Modern Britain - Hardcover
This innovative book provides an essential historical perspective on the boundaries of the state in modern Britain. At a time of intense debate about the state, the collection of interdisciplinary studies gathered here emphasizes the sheer variety of public involvement in British life, the ebb and flow of that involvement and its dynamics, and the wider implications this has for civil society and intellectual life. These new essays contribute to current debates not only by providing a historical analysis but also by looking to future developments.

From the Back Cover:
This innovative book provides an essential historical perspective on the boundaries of the state in modern Britain. At a time of intense debate about the state, the writers of these interdisciplinary studies are unimpressed by the apparent 'rise' of the stage before 1979 and its supposed 'decline' in the wake of Thatcherism.
