Synopsis

This provides an examination of constitutional affairs. It discusses current practice and proposals for change and covers recent constitutional events such as Thatcher's resignation. The British Constitution is in a state of flux and many of its fundamental institutions and principles are being called into question. Does the office of Prime Minister possess too much power? Should an adversary two-party system of parliamentary politics be reformed through the introduction of proportional representation? Would a Ministry of Justice be a good idea and would it improve the way in which judges are appointed? This collection of articles on constitutional affairs addresses vital issues. It brings together the complementary expertise of leading lawyers, historians and political scientists in the field and should be of interest to all those concerned with constitutional matters in the UK and abroad. It is aimed at academic and practising lawyers with an interest in constitutional affairs as well as those undergoing legal training. Will also appeal to academics, postgraduates and advanced undergraduates in political science and contemporary history.
