Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In the British Constitution, Brian Scanlon takes the reader on a Grand Tour of the key events in British history, from the Roman occupation to the post-Brexit era, linking them to evolution of the constitutional settlements that now define the British State. It takes in what happened, why it changed the constitution, and how it applies in both practical and philosophical terms. The constitution, which is best described as written but un-codified, is probably the most flexible and adaptable to be found anywhere. Its common law heritage provides the pragmatism to accommodate new political realities and new constituencies of interest almost in its stride. It deserves a wider appreciation, which is the primary objective of this book, and it stands ready to be used by enlightened statesmen to differentiate the British people and their State so that a new era of competitive advantage can be won, politically and commercially, on the World stage.
