UNITED KINGDOM CONSTITUTION by N. W. Barber Professor of Constitutional Law and

This volume provides an introduction to the United Kingdom’s constitution that recognises and embraces its historical, social, political, and legal dimensions. It critically examines the radical changes to the UK constitution that have occurred over the last thirty years, paying particular attention to the revival of the constituent territories of the UK – Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England – and to the increasing role played by the judges in constitutional disputes.
