Description: Tony Blair has described the government's programme of constitutional reform as `the most extensive package of constitutional change ever proposed'. It will transform the political landscape in ways which are not yet fully understood; and some of which the government does not intend. This book is a guide to the new political and legal system that will result. The changes will include greater checks and balances and greater separation of powers a new territorial politics with greater competition between the nations and regions of the UK fragmentation of the party system and the emergence of more regional political parties a shift of power from Parliament to the courts with more litigation against government and between the new levels of government within the UK changing concepts of citizenship and democracy a more pluralist consensus - building style of politics with more coalition governments and more minority parties in place of the adversarial two - party system. These are just some of the themes explored in the Constitution Unit's new book Constitutional Futures: A History of the Next Ten Years. It is a seminal piece of work which should interest teachers and students of law and politics opinion formers and policy makers and all those involved in this period of unprecedented constitutional change.
