Details

Like the immensely successful previous edition of this highly respected work, this new edition has been jointly prepared and thorough updated by Colin Turpin and Adam Tomkins.

It takes fully into account constitutional developments under the coalition government and examines the most recent case law of the Supreme Court, the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights. While it includes extensive material and commentary on contemporary constitutional practice, the book covers the historical traditions and the continuity of the British constitution as well as the current tide of change.

Designed principally for law students, the book includes substantial extracts from parliamentary and other political sources, as well as from legislation and case law, making it ideal for politics and government students. With its fresh design it provides a full yet accessible account of the British constitution at a fascinating moment in its ongoing development.

Contents:: Part I. Constitution, State and Beyond; 1. The British constitutional order; 2. The ideas of the constitution; 3. Constitutional sources; 4. Devolution and the structure of the United Kingdom; 5. The European dimensions; Part II. Government; 6. Crown and government; 7. The powers of government; Part III. Accountability; 8. Parties, groups and the people; 9. Parliament and the responsibility of government; 10. The courts: judicial review and liability; Part IV. Liberty:
11. Liberty and the constitution.
