Union and Devolution : Territorial Politics in the United Kingdon from Thatcher to Blair

"Union and Devolution" provides a thorough analysis of the origins of devolution and its implications for the U.K. as a whole, as well as its constituent parts. Using a thematic approach and focusing on the years post 1979, Jonathan Bradbury gives equal emphasis to Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the English regions and introduces the main theoretical schools of thought and research debates.
