    • Since publication of the first edition in 1985, this book has provided essential critical analysis of the evolving themes in the topical and fast-changing field of constitutional law
    • Features a unique breadth of coverage with contributions from 15 leading scholars, all of whom write in jargon-free language that is highly accessible to students.
    • Takes a topic-based critical approach to the subject, opening up issues and themes for the reader to consider and debate
    • Each chapter begins with a brief summary of its contents, so that the fundamental areas under discussion are immediately clear to the reader
    • Each chapter ends with a list of further reading, directing the reader to crucial academic literature on the subject and to relevant web sites, therefore enabling students to further develop their knowledge, and to keep up to date with the latest developments

    New to this edition

    • Essential consideration of the latest developments in constitutional reform, following the formation of a Liberal-Conservative coalition government in 2010
    • A new introductory overview chapter by the editors discusses the evolution of the principles and practices of the British constitution and its rapid development in recent years
    • A new chapter on regulating information covers both freedom of information and issues surrounding the surveillance society
    • A case study chapter on environmental regulation illustrates how many of the constitutional principles identified elsewhere in the book play out in practice
    • Coverage of devolution in the UK has been condensed to a single chapter, providing a highly accessible overview of this crucial topic

    Since its first edition in 1985, The Changing Constitution has cemented its reputation for providing concise, scholarly and thought-provoking essays on the key issues surrounding the UK's constitutional development, and the current debates around reform.

    The seventh edition of this highly successful volume is published at a time of accelerated constitutional change in the wake of the 2010 general election and the formation of a Conservative / Liberal Democrat coalition committed to political reforms - including fixed term parliaments, a referendum on electoral reform, reform of the House of Lords, improved freedom of information, and reform of the House of Commons.

    This collection of essays provides thoroughly updated versions of previously-published chapters, plus an introductory overview of how the UK constitution is evolving and new chapters on the regulation of information and on the environment as a case study in regulation.

    Professors Jowell and Oliver have brought together fifteen expert contributors to offer an invaluable source of material and analysis for all students of constitutional law and politics.

    Readership: This book is suitable for undergraduates and postgraduates studying the constitution as part of their law or politics degree. It will also be of interest to civil servants, politicians interested in constitutional issues, and voluntary organisations working in these fields.
