This book explores the governance of the UK, and the process of
constitutional change, between Scotland's independence referendum
in September 2014 and the UK general election in May 2015. The book
contrasts the attitudes of the public, captured through an original
survey, with those of politicians, civil servants, and civic
leaders, identified through over forty interviews. It pays
particular attention to two case studies involving recent changes
to the UK's governing arrangements: the Smith Commission and the
transfer of further powers to the Scottish Parliament, and Greater
Manchester's devolution deal that has become a model for devolution
across England. It also considers the issue of lowering the voting
age to 16, contrasting the political attitudes of younger voters in
Scotland with those in the rest of the UK. The book will be of
interest to students and scholars of UK politics, devolution,
constitutional change, public attitudes, and territorial politics.
