Executive Power
The Prerogative, Past, Present and Future Robert Hazell, University College London, UK & Timothy Foot, University College London, UK This book provides a clear and full analysis of the function of the royal prerogative in the changing landscape of the British constitution. The concept of the prerogative is still a source of mystery to most observers. This book demystifies it, clarifying the respective roles of government, Parliament and the courts, looking at the powers that should be codified in statute and considering whether Parliament should have a stronger role.

Comparative Perspectives on Constitutionally Conforming Interpretation, Volume 1 National Reports
Edited by Matthias Klatt, University of Graz, Austria This book is part of a 2-volume set which investigates the canon of constitutionally conforming interpretation. Both volumes analyse the canon’s use in the national, supranational and international context and reflect on the issues raised. This volume presents national reports from 22 jurisdictions, to shed light on the canon’s structural background, the conditions of its application, and its critical reception. Together with volume 2, which explores the canon’s impact beyond the national context, this book sets the stage for cross-national discourse.

British and Canadian Public Law in Comparative Perspective Edited by Ian Loveland, City, University of London, UK
This book explores current human rights controversies arising in UK law, in the light of the way such matters have been dealt with in Canada. It discusses such issues as assisted dying, voting rights for prisoners, the wearing of religious symbols, parental control of their children’s upbringing, and the law regulating libel actions brought by politicians. The contributions to this volume provide detailed analyses of these broad and narrow matters in a comparative perspective, and suggest that the United Kingdom’s public law jurisprudence and scholarship might benefit substantially from a closer engagement with their Canadian counterparts.
