- This monograph is a conceptual history of prerogative and reason of state from c.1650 to the present. Planning, research and writing took around seven years and required extensive study of the history of Britain and its empire. The author examines an exceptional range of topics and sources – law (cases, legislation, charters), legal theory, politics (books, periodical articles, tracts) and political economy (Britain's commercial empire, especially the East India Company) – and has produced a detailed and original analysis of the constitutional development of the British state and its connections with global Realpolitik.
