| Description: |
This is the first book about constitutional reform which sets out to forecast what the UK's constitution will look like in ten years time. Starting with the eleven constitutional Bills passed in 1997-98, the book analyses how these will affect the UK's constitutional structure, and examines in detail the further reforms that will be required to ensure that the new constitutional settlement beds down. The book has been written by a group of the leading experts, whohave worked closely together on the project. As a result the chapters are tightly interwoven so that the cumulative and interactive effect of these changes is considered across the whole field of reform. The clear message of this book is that the constitutional reform programme will acquire its ownmomentum, and that work needs to begin now to ensure that the programme is carried through successfully. |
| Synopsis: |
Tony Blair has described the government's programme of constitutional reform as 'the most extensive package of constitutional change ever proposed'. It will transform the political landscape, in ways which are not yet fully understood; and some of which the government does not intend. This book is a guide to the new political and legal system that will result. The changes will include greater checks and balances and greater separation of powers a new territorial politics, with greater competition between the nations and regions of the UK fragmentation of the party system, and the emergence of more regional political parties a shift of power from Parliament to the courts, with more litigation against government, and between the new levels of government within the UK changing concepts of citizenship and democracy a more pluralist, consensus-building style of politics with more coalition governments and more minority parties in place of the adversarial two-party system. These are just some of the themes explored in the Constitution Unit's new book, Constitutional Futures: A History of the Next Ten Years.It is a seminal piece of work, which should interest teachers and students of law and politics, opinion formers and policy makers, and all those involved in this period of unprecedented constitutional change. |
