TAILIEUCHUNG - British Government and the Constitution

This book is concerned with the organisation, powers and accountability of government in the British constitution. It has been written from a lawyer’s perspective, modified by an awareness that the British constitution is far from being exclusively the handiwork of lawyers. Judges and other practitioners of the discipline of law have made a notable contribution to it, but so have political philosophers, controversialists of many hues, party organisations, peers, rebels in and out of Parliament and the legions of special interests. Yet lawyers sometimes pretend that the constitution is theirs, teaching and writing about it in myopic isolation | British Government and the Constitution COLI N TURPI N AND ADAM TOMKINS Cambridge 9780521690294 This page intentionally left blank British Government and the Constitution The first five editions of this well-established book were written by Colin Turpin. This new edition has been prepared jointly by Colin Turpin and Adam Tomkins. This edition sees a major restructuring of the material as well as a complete updating. New developments such as the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and recent case law concerning the sovereignty of Parliament the Human Rights Act counter-terrorism and protests against the Iraq War among other matters are extracted and analysed. While it includes extensive material and commentary on contemporary constitutional reform Turpin and Tomkins is a book that covers the historical traditions and the continuity of the British constitution as well as the current tide of change. All the chapters contain detailed suggestions for further reading. Designed principally for law students the book includes substantial extracts from parliamentary and other political sources as well as from legislation and case law. As such it is essential reading also for politics and government students. Much of the material has been reworked and with its fresh design the book provides a detailed yet accessible account of the British constitution at a fascinating moment in its ongoing development. Colin Turpin is a Fellow of Clare College and Reader Emeritus in Public Law at the University of Cambridge. Adam Tomkins is the John Millar Professor of Public Law at the University of Glasgow. His previous books include Public Law 2003 Our Republican Constitution 2005 and European Union Law Text and Materials 2006
