Rescaling the state provides a theoretically-informed and
empirically-rich account of the process of devolution undertaken in
the UK since 1997, focusing in particular on the devolution of
economic governance. Using case studies from England, Scotland,
Northern Ireland and Wales, the book examines the purported reasons
for, and the unintended consequences of, devolution. As well as
comparing policy and practice across the four devolved territories,
the book also explores the pitfalls and instances of good practice
associated with devolution in the UK. Rescaling the state is an
important text for all social scientists - particularly political
scientists, sociologists, anthropologists and human geographers -
interested in the devolution of power in the UK and, indeed, all
instances of contemporary state restructuring. It is also a
significant book for all policy-makers interested in understanding
the increasing complexity of the policy landscapes of economic
governance in the UK. With a new preface for the 2017 paperback
edition -- .
