Title: Devolution (Modern Legal Studies)
First published: November 16, 2000
Description: "Devolution is one the most interesting and important processes in United Kingdom legal, constitutional and political life. This major new work discusses the general principles of devolution, and attempts to explain some of the legal issues that have arisen as part of the process of introducing devolution into United Kingdom constitutional law." "It focuses on the nature of the recently formed assemblies, the co-ordination of policy within the United Kingdom, and the handling of devolution disputes. It concludes with a chapter on the future of devolution, looking in turn at each devolution settlement, and then goes on to examine the overall structure of devolution in the United Kingdom." "Devolution will be essential reading for everyone studying constitutional law. It will be an important addition to the literature in the area, and will inform the legal, constitutional and political debate surrounding the process of devolution."--BOOK JACKET.
