Westminster and the World: Commonwealth and Comparative Insights for Constitutional Reform

With Britain’s constitutional future under intense debate, comparative constitutional scholar Elliot Bulmer looks for answers in a rediscovery of Britain’s own global-imperial constitutional tradition.

This insightful book examines the principles of Westminster Model constitutions and shows how the lessons learned from these British-influenced constitutions might be applied to British constitutional issues such as the protection of human rights, the relationship between the Crown and Parliament, and the territorial distribution of power.

For politics and law students, concerned citizens and anyone with an interest in constitutional change, this is a comprehensive review of Britain’s global constitutional heritage and a bold re-imagining of what Britain’s future written constitution might look like.
