内容説明

Constitutional reform is one of the most important issues in British politics, drawing in contributions from many diverse areas. This volume, published in association with Charter 88, provides a comprehensive source-book for the controversy. The debate over the constitution, the contributors show, is at the core of many vital concerns in the political arena. This book goes beyond the classical debates on legal powers to deal with such issues as the relationship between the constitution and economic development, European integration, gender and race. Debating the Constitution shows that forthe UK to become a modern European democracy, all kinds of institutions have to change fundamentally: in style, composition and culture.
