The Dynamics of Devolution: The State of the Nations (State of the Nations Yearbooks) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book is the fifth, and final, volume in the State of the Nations yearbook series on devolution in the UK. This book explores the future of devolution, by examining the new political dynamics devolution has put into play. These concern devolution's operation and also its impact ― how devolution has altered politics in the parts of the UK that experience devolution and in the UK as a whole. Chapters examine the key topics in devolution, and examine the interplay between institutional change and social, economic and political forces (both those that existed before devolution and those brought into being by it). This interplay creates scope for varying forms of change, but what that change means varies from topic to topic. In some cases ― such as Wales ― institutional issues remain to the fore, while in others ― such as Scotland ― pressures for institutional change are relatively limited but the devolved institutions create scope for new political factors to come into play.
