{"product_id":"our-republican-constitution-adam-tomkins-9781841135229","title":"Our Republican Constitution","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis new book by Adam Tomkins sets out a radical vision of the British constitution. It argues that despite its outwardly monarchic form the constitution is profoundly informed, and indeed shaped, by values and practices of republicanism. The republican reading of the constitution presented in this book places political accountability at the core of the constitutional order. As such, Our Republican Constitution offers a powerful rejoinder to the current trend in legal scholarship that sees the common law and the courts, rather than Parliament, as the central players in holding government to account. The book further contends that while the constitution should be understood as having republican foundations, current constitutional practice is, in a number of respects, insufficiently republican in character. The book closes by outlining a programme of republican constitutional reform that is designed to secure genuinely responsible government. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is an original and provocative reinterpretation of the central themes of the British constitution, drawing on constitutional history (especially of the seventeenth century), political theory and public law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Tomkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841135224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841135229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hart Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.56w x 0.40d","brand":"Adam Tomkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372500504831,"sku":"9781841135229","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_310d08a9-7686-41ef-bcc0-ee89bc7a0c64.jpg?v=1732726117","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/our-republican-constitution-adam-tomkins-9781841135229","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
