Devolution in Britain today provides a comprehensive analysis of
both the historical development and the current state of devolved
government. Devolution is now a key element in A-level syllabuses
and on most undergraduate politics courses. This book is written in
a clear and accessible style for students either encountering
devolution for the first time or for those who need to explore the
subject area in greater detail. All of the devolved bodies in
England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are examined. This
book is a thorough update of the first edition, written by Colin
Pilkington and published by MUP in 2002. The book explains the
concept and background of devolution, and indicates the
constitutional implications of political devolution in the United
Kingdom before providing a full and considered historical
background to devolution, including an explanation of how the
United Kingdom came to be united. It then examines the historical
and political events that surrounded the preparation of devolution
across Britain, before addressing each country in turn, assessing
the relative success of devolution in that country. -- .
