| Abstract: |
The article assesses the utility of Jim Bulpitt's Book, Territory and Power in the United Kingdom for its theoretical constribution to the study of comparative state political development, and how this is exemplified by the book's applied analysis of UK political development. The article argues first, that the book should be located within the turn in political science to bring the state back into political analysis, and provides a distinctive new institutionalist conceptual framework. It argues secondly that the book should be located within the turn in political science to bring temporal analysis into the study of political development, using and applying mechanisms of analysis later identified with historical institutionalism. On this basis the significance of Bulpitt's book, re-issued in the ECPR Classics series in 2008, both for existing research and in shaping future research agendas can be appreciated by scholars of comparative and UK political science alike. |
