Review Quotes
Robert Blackburn, King’s College London
“‘Comparison illuminates’—this is an absolutely indispensable book for UK, French and comparative constitutional scholars, as well as all those concerned with the present and future politics of each country and Europe as a whole. Elizabeth Gibson-Morgan’s shrewd analysis identifies and explains the key differences in the political and constitutional practices of the two countries and the common challenges they face in the years ahead.”
