This book, originally published in 1982, begins with an examination
of space, and its role in the process of public provision and
collective consumption. Variations in provision are linked to the
Weberian notion of social status and political struggles over
consumption and externality issues. Health care and education are
considered in spatial contexts, and the whole basis of the
electoral system is also discussed together with geographic
underpinnings. In each case emphasis is placed on the
jurisdictional organization of space by public bodies. The author
examines the various examples of spatial cleavages, in which
political events are redirected by issues such as nuclear power,
airport location, road construction and urban renewal.
