Devolution of Power to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland:The Inner History
Peter Lang International Academic Publishers (Verlag)
978-1-80374-250-2 (ISBN)
The papers show just how much interdepartmental work was involved in this comparatively modest exercise, and how dependent ministers were on the Civil Service and their legal teams. They also raise questions which have recently been much amplified. The drive for devolution had contradictory aims – to offer more self-sufficiency and foster development; but also to take the sting out of nationalist movements, so as to preserve the Union. Readers can judge how democratic and how fruitful the scheme really was.
