  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. New features of the fifth edition include coverage of the Constitutional Reform Bill, recent emergency and anti-terrorism legislation, expanded coverage of judicial review, and a new chapter on the separation of powers. In addition, new 'Key Notes' are included at the start of each chapter to identify important themes.

  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.
