Modernising Britain: Central, Devolved, Federal? - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The five years since the New labour came to power with tony Blair as Prime Minister have witnessed major changes in the ways in which we are governed. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have parliamentary assemblies and ministers to look after their own affairs; there is a directly elected mayor for the whole of London; and the promise of regional devolution for the rest of England. This collective work - with contributions from practitioners and academics - contributes to a growing constitutional debate. It offers an up to the minute assessment of the performance of our new institutions. in the wider context of the European Union - with its emphasis on devolution, federalism and subsidiarity - the book explores alternative scenarios for the future governance of the United Kingdom.
