The United Kingdom, Spain and Belgium have all undergone political
devolution in recent years, with powers transferred from central
government to regions and nations within these states. There is a
rich literature on devolution, but surprisingly little on its
consequences for public policy. This book explores the effects of
devolution on the policy process, policy substance and policy
outcomes in the UK, Spain and Belgium. The chapters study a range
of policy spheres, including education, health care and general
social policy, examining the scope for policy innovation and policy
divergence between different levels of government. The analyses
highlight the scope for comparison across devolved governments,
which often face similar policy challenges and seek to exercise
their autonomy within similar constraints. Each study underlines
the importance of pre-existing policy communities, political
cultures and institutions in shaping the scope for policy
innovation within devolved governments. Each study also reinforces
the need to consider devolved policy-making within the context of
the nation-state. Devolution altered the relationship between the
state and meso communities, but there remains a considerable degree
of political and policy interdependence between governments at each
level of the state. This book was previously published as a special
issue of Regional and Federal Studies.
