The Constitution Unit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Constitution Unit is a UK based think tank that specialises in constitutional affairs and comparative constitutional studies. Founded in 1995 by Robert Hazell C.B.E. (who remains Director of the Unit), it is now based within the Department of Political Science at University College London.
The Unit specialises in the study of devolution, parliament and parliamentary reform, freedom of information legislation, church and state, courts and the legal system, and the Human Rights Act 1998.
The Constitution Unit was commended for its influential role in the constitutional reform of Scotland and Wales in a report outlining 100 world-changing discoveries, innovations and research projects to come out of UK universities in the last 50 years [1] [2]
