Rodney Barker
(1942- )
Rodney Barker is a professor of government in London School of Economics.
He has published on political thinking in modern Britain, and on the legitimation of governments, subjects, and rebels.
His most recent books in these fields are Political Ideas in Modern Britain in and after the Twentieth Century, published by Routledge in 1997, and Legitimating Identities: the self-presentations of rulers and subjects, published by Cambridge University Press in 2001.
His research on legitimation is continuing, and he is in addition working on the conceptualisation of enemies in the construction of political identities.
