Description
Devolution in the UK explores how the United Kingdom's governance structure has evolved over time, with a particular focus on England's territorial politics and its impact on constitutional debates.
The book examines the similarities and differences between the governance of the UK's component parts, arguing that the country should be understood as a state of distinct unions, each with its own unique history and trajectory. Drawing on previously unpublished primary material and a wide range of secondary sources, this comprehensive account covers the territorial constitution of the UK from the early twentieth century to the present day.
Available in paperback for the first time, Devolution in the UK offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between England's territorial politics and the country's constitutional system.
