Devolution in the UK: Politics, Powers and Policies de Derek Birrell

Devolution in the UK: Politics, Powers and Policies

Autor Derek Birrell, Paul Carmichael, Deirdre Heenan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 oct 2023
Covering the impact of austerity, Brexit, the Scottish Independence Referendum and the collapse of the Northern Ireland Executive, this book discusses how wider national developments shape and are shaped by the process of devolution in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England, assessing its impact on politics, policy and public administration. Drawing together extensive scholarship on devolution, Devolution in the UK compares the similarities and differences between the different devolved nations, and tackles key questions:- Where did devolution come from, and what does its future look like?- What are the most effective devolution systems, and what are their benefits?- Why does Wales have fewer devolved powers than Scotland and Northern Ireland?- What impact will Brexit have?- Why are national identities, symbols, languages, flags and culture so important? Spanning the introduction of devolution in 1988 to the present, this is essential reading if you are studying devolution, one of the country-specific political systems, or interested in UK politics as a whole.

This is an indispensable book for anyone interested in devolution. Comprehensive and authoritative, the volume covers the politics, parliaments and processes associated with a fundamental reshaping of the UK. A triumph.
