Description
The Constitution of the United Kingdom A Contextual Analysis by Peter Leyland provides a clear and concise overview of the UK's constitutional framework. This new edition addresses significant changes since 2016, including those brought about by Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. Leyland adopts a thematic approach to discuss key aspects of the constitution, such as history, sources, conventions, and the role of institutions like Parliament, the Crown, and the judiciary. The book offers analysis on the evolution of the UK's historic non-codified constitution, its strengths and weaknesses, and reform initiatives. This study will provide students of law and politics with an informed understanding of how the constitution works, allowing them to develop a nuanced view of this complex subject.
