And, in crises, we turn to the law to set the boundaries of what the government can and should do. However, in a country with no written constitution, what sounds like a simple proposition is in fact anything but. Based on his 2019 Reith lectures, former Supreme Court Judge Jonathan Sumption asks: what are the limits of law in politics? Is not having a constitution a hindrance or help in times of crisis? From referenda to the rise of nationalisms, Law in a Time of Crisis exposes the uses and abuses of legal intervention in British crises - past, present, and potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 206g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 198 x 128 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781788167123\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Main\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Sumption","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44101596479738,"sku":"9781788167123","price":8.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646281817600_book.jpg?v=1646938308","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/law-in-a-time-of-crisis-9781788167123","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
