Product Description

Review

'… masterly in its treatment … It should be essential reading for students of constitutional law … Any reader looking for the British constitution, how it works and where it does not, will find no better introduction than British Government and the Constitution.' Westlaw UK

'Exceptionally clear, in two colours, with excellent use of boxes and shading.' Times Higher Education Supplement


Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent , 6 Oct 2006
This book contains a wide range of source materials and informed commentary which illuminates the political and constitutional process.

The author applies a contextual approach which is invaluable in allowing you to see the bigger picture. This would compliment standard textbooks, because it provides a stimulating perspective on the way we are governed.

I have read this book again and again and you always learn something new.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, and timesaving in academic emergencies, 8 Sep 2007
By A. Lee "AL" (Oxford, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book is brilliant, with well-written introductions to various aspects of constitutional law complemented by excerpts from key theorists and cases, which help illuminate the controversy over public law principles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite good, 9 Feb 2009
By Brendan O. Clarke "brendoclarke" (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

The author says the British Constitution is entrenched.

Does this mean it is lying in a ditch somewhere?
