In <em>The British Consitution in the Twentieth Century</em>, tradition and innovation live together and are methodologically integrated. The overall impression is one of a consolidated methodology in the best classical tradition of British constitutional scholarship.
Alessandro Torre, Diritto publico comparato ed europeo
This is the first scholarly survey of the British constitution in the twentieth century. Indeed, it fills a very real gap in the history of Britain during the last hundred years.
The book is a product of interdisciplinary collaboration by a distinguished group of constitutional lawyers, historians and political scientists, and draws where possible on primary sources. Its evaluation of the recent constitutional reforms will be of particular interest.
This major interpretation of the constitution will remain authoritative for many years.
