Examines recent evidence of a growing symmetry in the operation of devolution in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This book makes one of the first systematic and detailed comparisons of the operation of the devolved institutions and machinery of governance. It uses a comparative approach to explore the key workings of government.

Industry Reviews

'This is the first comprehensive review of government across all three devolved parts of the United Kingdom. It is detailed, carefully researched and accurate, and will be essential reading for both practitioners and scholars of the UK's evolving system of multilevel government.'

- Michael Keating, Professor of Politics, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Aberdeen, UK
