The National Assembly for Wales was established in 1999,
granting the people of Wales a parliament for the first time in
nearly six centuries. The Assembly was intended to create a
parliamentary culture of open, inclusive, and modern democracy that
stood apart from the Houses of Parliament in London. Based on
anthropological fieldwork, this informative book analyzes how power
in Wales is legitimated and justified. William Schumann's
intriguing argument makes the case that contradictory political
practices exist which affirm elected officials as public
representatives while also reproducing the subordinate status of
Wales within the institutional hierarchies of the United Kingdom
and European Union.
