This historically embedded treatment of theoretical debates about
prerogative and reason of state spans over four centuries of
constitutional development. Commencing with the English Civil War
and the constitutional theories of Hobbes and the Republicans, it
moves through eighteenth-century arguments over jealousy of trade
and commercial reason of state to early imperial concerns and the
nineteenth-century debate on the legislative empire, to martial law
and twentieth-century articulations of the state at the end of
empire. It concludes with reflections on the contemporary
post-imperial security state. The book synthesises a wealth of
theoretical and empirical literature that allows a link to be made
between the development of constitutional ideas and global
realpolitik. It exposes the relationship between internal and
external pressures and designs in the making of the modern
constitutional polity and explores the relationship between law,
politics and economics in a way that remains rare in constitutional
scholarship.
