Devolution in the UK - Hardcover
This book explains devolution today in terms of the evolution of past structures of government in the component parts of the United Kingdom. It highlights the importance of the English dimension and the role that England’s territorial politics played in constitutional debates. Similarities and differences between how the components of the UK were governed are described. It argues that the UK should be understood now, even more than pre-devolution, as a state of distinct unions, each with its own deeply rooted past and trajectory. Using previously unpublished primary material, as well as a wealth of secondary work, the book offers a comprehensive account of the territorial constitution of the UK from the early twentieth century through to the operation of the new devolved system of government.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Referendums in Scotland and Wales in September 1997 signalled fundamental changes in the government and politics of the United Kingdom. At the start of the third millennium a Parliament in Scotland, an Assembly in Wales and a new London authority with a directly elected mayor will be established each with wide powers and responsibilties. These developments will provide an added impetus to establishing elected government in the English regions. This book sets the territorial politics of the UK into historical and political context. It challenges traditional notions of the UK as a unitary state and considers the implications for the whole of the UK its changes in its component parts. The debates leading up to constitutional change are discussed and the opportunities and challenges they will face are considered. What all of this means for the United of Disunited Kingdom is analysed. The lessons of the UK's limited experience of devolution, the Stormont Parliament in Northern Ireland which existed for 50 years until 1972, are considere taking account of both the constitutional and socio-political dimensions.Based on extensive research using primary and secondary material, the new territoral politics of the United Kingdom are discussed alongside a reassessment of old orthodoxies. Using previously unpublished primary, as well as a wealth of secondary material, this bookffers a comprehensive account explaining the evolution of devolution, from territorial Ministries and Stormont through to the present arrangements. -- .
