The British Constitution
In the nineteenth century Walter Bagehot wrote a classic account of the British constitution as it had developed during Queen Victoria's reign arguing that it was not at all what people thought it was. Anthony King argues that the same is true at the beginning of this century. The author maintains that, while the new British constitution is a mess, there is no going back now. Grappling with the thorniest issues facing the British polity head on, he offers a trenchant analysis of the increasingly divergent relationship between England, Scotland and Wales in the light of devolution and a devastating critique of the reformed House of Lords. The book is a Bagehot for the 21st Century and essential reading for anyone with an interest in the nature and future of British political life.

Urban Warfare in the Twenty-First Century
Warfare has migrated into cities. From Mosul to Mumbai, Aleppo to Marawi, the major military battles of the twenty-first century have taken place in densely populated urban areas. Why has this happened? What are the defining characteristics of urban warfare today? What are its military and political implications? Leading sociologist Anthony King answers these critical questions through close analysis of recent urban battles and their historical antecedents. Exploring the changing typography and evolving tactics of the urban battlescape, he shows that although not all methods used in urban warfare are new, operations in cities today have become highly distinctive. Urban warfare has coalesced ...

Writing the Global City
Over the last three decades, our understanding of the city worldwide has been revolutionized by three innovative theoretical concepts – globalisation, postcolonialism and a radically contested notion of modernity. The idea and even the reality of the city has been extended out of the state and nation and re-positioned in the larger global world. In this book Anthony King brings together key essays written over this period, much of it dominated by debates about the world or global city. Challenging assumptions and silences behind these debates, King provides largely ignored historical and cultural dimensions to the understanding of world city formation as well as decline. Interdisciplinary ...
