  The second edition of this clear and readable text book on the basic principles of UK constitutional law has been thoroughly updated. John Alder provides his own introduction to the political and historical background that many students find obscure, making this an ideal first text book. A major focus os the book continues to be the different sources of our constitution and how they interrelate. Much is illuminated by comparisons with other countries, particularly the USA, and for this edition a new chapter reviews the relationship between EC and UK law. Fresh treatments of UK citizenship, Northern Ireland, civil liberties and judicial review strengthen John Alder's reputation for handling clearly topics which often seem controversial and difficult.

  Constitutional and Administrative Law provides a comprehensive and very readable introduction to the basic legal principles of the UK constitution. Critical yet accessible, the book places the law in the context of the main political ideas which have influenced its development and discusses some of the most fundamental questions about government. This sixth edition incorporates the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and the Government of Wales Act 2006, highlights important new case law on parliamentary supremacy, the rule of law and natural justice, and considers continuing judicial and legislative developments in relation to human rights, electoral and anti terrorism law.
