Summary note

In this Very Short Introduction, Martin Loughlin sketches the unique character of the British constitution, sets it in the context of the growth across the world of modern constitutions, and illustrates how Britain's traditional constitution has continued to evolve in response to modern economic, political, and social developments. The impact of recent changes occasioned by Brexit, Scottish independence claims, the settlement in Northern Ireland, and debates on human rights are examined and the prospects for Britain's traditional constitution assessed--back cover.
