Customer Reviews

A compelling commentary
This is a compelling commentary on the major constitutional reforms put forward by Blair's Government in June 2003, with plenty of original material from exclusive interviews with over a dozen renowned experts. A very quick read, its summary of more general points of constitutional law is also a useful reference.

A fine balance!
As a law student, I have found this short book very useful in clarfying the constitutional principles underlying the proposed reforms to the legal system and would recommend it even to those who have not studied law. At the same time, the detail contained within its 160 pages and its contemporary nature would definitely make it an essential read for academics and politicians alike who work in this field.
