The English Constitution addresses two burning contemporary and
complementary questions; one regarding the so-called English
'question', the changing identities of England and English-ness,
and a second regarding the changing shape of the Anglo-British
constitution. It is suggested that there are both internal and
external pressures that are driving the reformation of our
constitutional order. There are internal pressures of decay, even
corruption, and popular apathy, and there are external pressures
brought to bear by the geopolitical challenges of the new world
order and the new Europe. The present 'project' of constitutional
reform inaugurated by the present government is supposed to reflect
these pressures. This book challenges this assumption, arguing that
a far more radical re-constitution is required, involving: deeper
institutional reforms (the most pressing being the abrogation of
monarchy, and the established Church); geopolitical reforms to
recast the devolutionary settlement and redefine English
regionalism; and perhaps most importantly, conceptual reform,
reform that will embrace the need to rebalance the constitution and
to promote greater accountability and democracy. It is intended
that the book will provide a stimulating text for both academics
and students; advancing a series of original ideas on a subject of
considerable contemporary interest. Along the way it discusses most
of the major topics, institutions and debates which are ordinarily
addressed in public law courses, and equivalents in non-law
disciplines.
