Turpin and Tomkins' British Government and the Constitution
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-108-70738-1 (ISBN)
A lot has happened to the UK Constitution in the last seven years. We've witnessed the UK's exit from the EU, further devolution to Scotland and Wales, a number of prominent cases by the Supreme Court, two early parliamentary general elections, major governmental defeats and two Prime Ministerial resignations. Alison Young has built on the text of Colin Turpin and Adam Tomkins' earlier edition, keeping their unique historical and contextual approach, whilst bringing the material up to date with more contemporary examples, including references to Brexit, the recent prorogation and Brexit case law, and the Covid-19 pandemic. The book continues to include substantial extracts from parliamentary and other political sources as well as from legislation and case law. It also provides a full yet accessible account of the British constitution at the culmination of a series of dramatic events, on the threshold of possible further constitutional reform.
Alison Young is the Sir David Williams Professor of Public Law at the University of Cambridge. She has taught constitutional law and administrative law for over 20 years at both Oxford and Cambridge. She regularly appears on the media commenting on constitutional developments, including BBC and Sky News, The Briefing Room and Law in Action, and also appears before parliamentary committees on issues of public law. She co-edits the UKCLA blog and is a trustee of the Constitution Society. Her other publications include Democratic Dialogue and the UK Constitution (2017).
