Abstract

In the conclusion, Mohun, Le Roux, Crook and Esbester draw together the key themes of the volume, demonstrating how risk and risk-related problems are a valuable means of rethinking how Britons have been governed. The conclusion also suggests avenues for further exploration. Central to this are the links made to nations and practices beyond Britain, drawing from and differing to the British experience, and which require further detailed examination. The relationships between governing risk, industrial capitalism and the rise of the modern liberal state are particularly significant in opening up areas for comparative and transnational research. The chapter therefore sets an agenda for future work on Britain and more widely.
