| dc.description.abstract | This paper draws on existing work in the discipline of human geography and cognate fields in order
to develop the concept of the ‘geo-constitution’. This concept aims to: (1) highlight the importance
of intersections between geography and political institutions in the constitution of government; (2)
consider the path-dependent development of political institutions and their impact on statecraft and
citizenship; (3) explore the implications of this for political reform. The paper provides an overview
of current thinking in political geography and applies the concept of the geo-constitution to the
example of devolution and localism in the United Kingdom. | en_GB |
