• The Constitution Unit conducts timely, rigorous, independent research into constitutional change and the reform of political institutions. • Our research has significant real-world impact, informing policy-makers engaged in such changes – both in the United Kingdom and around the world. • The Unit was created in 1995 to aid policy-makers involved in changing their constitutions. Robert Hazell founded the Unit initially to conduct detailed research and planning on constitutional reform in the UK. • We continue to fulfil that remit, but also assess the effects of reforms that have taken place, and research constitutional and political arrangements beyond the UK. @ConUnit_UCL
