Reviews

This [book] shows the ability of the best political scientists both to detatch themselves from everyday partisan exchanges and to illuminate the broader political debate. Peter Riddell, TLS

`Like the work of Marshall itself, the essays in this volume range comfortably over law, politics and the constitution and will ensure that the lawyer and political scientist are never far apart.' Government and Opposition, Oct.00. `These essays succeed in honouring Geoffrey Marshall not least by their undogmatic but engaged and critical approach and the contemporary relevance of their examples.' Rodney Barker, Political Studies, Vol.48, No.4, Sept.00. `this collection is rich with insight and deserves to be read by serious students of British politics.' T.P. Wolf, British Politics Group Newsletter, Spring 00.
