"This book places recent developments in the United Kingdom in their historical context examining political and constitutional aspects of devolution in Britain from Gladstone's espousal of Home Rule in 1886 right up to the 1998 legislation governing the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh National Assembly, and the new arrangement for London. Devolution in the United Kingdom is required reading for anyone who wants to understand the significance of the most important constitutional development of our time."--Jacket.
