While much of the work of the Constitution Unit focuses on particular parts of the institutional structure of politics, some issues cut across those points and relate to constitutional structures – and the mechanisms through which those structures change – in the round.

 

Several of the Unit’s earliest reports looked at constitutional reform across a broad canvas, as did two large-scale exercises in constitutional forecasting: Constitutional Futures and Constitutional Futures Revisited as well as work comparing constitutions internationally. Current projects include research into about attitudes to democracy in the UK, through our Democracy in the UK after Brexit project, and a project seeking to inform public debate about Constitutional Principles and the Health of Democracy.
