The Department of Government at Essex University provided a favourable environment for the development of Anthony King's work. While his primary interest was the UK , his intellectual interests were far broader in scope and informed by comparative insights. His key work was on political leadership, but he also made crucial contributions on other issues such as ungovernability. He had a particular concern with the quality of government, reflected in the Blunders book he wrote with Ivor Crewe.
