The issue of devolution has often been one for polemic rather than reasoned analysis. 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 Assembly, and the Mayoral Election of May 2000. Devolution will be required reading for anyone who wants to understand the significance of the most important constitutional development of our time.

Bogdanor ... sets out with meticulous clarity the difficulties and complexities of constructing constitutional responses to political demands for a match between politics and powers. Rodney Barker, History of Parliament, 2000.

TLS Review from previous edition '...But despite the chaotic birthing of the new arrangements, there is a rational and even conservative case for them, one which Bogdanor puts better than I have seen it done elsewhere...'
