Editorial Reviews

Review

"Constitutional reform is a process not an event. It is taking us into uncharted waters. All students of the constitution will be grateful to Robert Hazell and the Constitution Unit at University College, London, for Constitutional Futures Revisited, which shows us how to steer past the dangerous shoals and reach dry land."--Vernon Bogdanor, Professor of Government, Oxford University, UK

"We used to think of the British Constitution as having an illustrious past but not much of a future. The last 10 years have changed all that. The question for lawyers, constitutionalists, politicians, and the public at large is now: where will (and should) it all end up? That is the question this valuable book answers."--Lord Bingham, Senior Law Lord
