Professors Jowell and Oliver have brought together an impressive list of contributors in this substantially revised new edition to provide a comprehensive analysis of all the latest developments in constitutional reform since 1997. The book is organized in four sections which move from a review of traditional doctrines in the constitution, through to analysis of the latest changes and new developments and their impact on the individual. It concludes with a look to constitutional reform in the future. Each chapter begins with a summary, highlighting the key issues involved. The chapters themselves are concise, providing a clear and accessible guide to constitutional reform placed in the context of the European Union. Revised chapters include Human Rights and the British Constitution, Freedom of information: The Constitutional Impact, and The Sovereignty of Parliament. New chapters include Britain in the EU, Devolution, and The Reform of the United Kingdom Parliament. This book will be an invaluable source of material and analysis, ideal for first and second-year undergraduates studying law and the changing constitution in Britain. Less
