Devolution is so much better understood as a living laboratory than a set of competitive league tables.
This book applies the lens of devolution as a laboratory to the experience of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales over the last quarter of a century. With a new government at Westminster this should be essential reading for anyone interested to combine strong devolved government with a successful United Kingdom.– Mark Drakeford, former First Minister of Wales
What are the consequences for “these islands” when a quarter-century of devolution and Northern Ireland’s Good Friday Agreement meets Brexit? The contributors to this fascinating volume explain that they have already been momentous and lay out the possible paths for their political future. A must read for anyone keen to know what the future holds for Great Britain and Ireland.
