书籍简介

《宪法学导论》从批判、比较的角度讨论了英国宪法的一般原则。它强调了这部未编撰宪法的主要特点，并与美国、法国和德国的纪实宪法进行了对比。这个国家对政府权力的制约比那些宪法下的要少，在那些宪法下，法院可以审查立法的合宪性。这本书还讨论了欧盟的“联邦”宪法，以及审查其对英国宪法的影响。鉴于工党政府已经着手进行宪法改革，它的出版尤其及时。因此，有必要对宪法的原则进行批判性的审视，并探索是否可以从其他国家的经验中学习到一些东西。

这本书提供了一个简明和最新的英国宪法的帐户，将是理想的介绍所有学生研究的主题，无论是作为一个法律的政治学位的一部分。

An Introduction to Constitutional Law discusses the general principles of the United Kingdom constitution from a critical, comparative perspective. It emphasizes the principal characteristics of this uncodified constitution, contrasting it with the documentary constitutions of the United States, France, and Germany. There are fewer checks on the power of government in this country than there are under those constitutions, where courts may review the constitutionality of legislation. This book also discusses the `federal' constitution of the European Union, as well as examining its impact on UK constitutional law. Its publication is particularly timely, in view of the programme of constitutional reform on which the Labour government has embarked. That makes it imperative to examine critically the principles of the constitution and explore whether anything may be learnt from the experience of other countries.

The book offers a succinct and up to date account of British constitutional law and will be the ideal introduction for all students studying the subject whether as part of a law of politics degree.
