Reinventing Britain 
Constitutional Change under New Labour

Contrary to popular myth, Britain does have a constitution, one that is uncodified and commanded little political interest for most of the twentieth century. In the late 1990s, Tony Blair’s New Labour Government launched a program of reform that was striking in its ambition. Reinventing Britain tells the story of Britain’s constitutional reform and weighs its long-term significance, with essays both by officials who worked on the reforms and by other leading commentators and academics from Britain and North America.
