Constitutional Change in the United Kingdom

The years since New Labour came to power in 1997 have seen changes on an unprecedented scale in Britains constitutional arrangements. The reforms have been widespread and far-reaching in their implications: devolution to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; reform of the House of Lords; the Human Rights Act 1998; and significant changes in the rules of the political game. This book is one of the first to examine all the changes collectively and in detail, to place each in its historical context, and to analyse both the problems and the solutions, with pointers to further reform in future. The book is comprehensive in its coverage, and clearly written. It should be an ideal resource for undergraduate students of British politics and constitutional law who seek to make sense of this dynamic and complex subject.Forman, Nigel is the author of 'Constitutional Change in the United Kingdom' with ISBN 9780415230360 and ISBN 0415230365.
