This book is ideal for readers interested in UK politics, policy development, and Welsh history, including students, researchers, and policymakers contemplating the future of Welsh governance.

This book is about the impact of Welsh devolution on public policy. It examines how, from a fragile beginning, distinct political institutions and ideological position have made their mark not only in Wales but also in the UK and wider world.

Description

Policy experts reflect on the first twenty years of self-governance in Wales.

Following a 1997 referendum, the United Kingdom established the Welsh Parliament and began a process known as “devolution,” granting Wales increasing powers of self-governance over the next twenty years. This collection reflects on the course of Welsh devolution and the emergence of a so-called “Welsh stripe” in social democracy.

Drawing on previously unpublished interviews with key participants in Welsh devolution, contributors analyse a range of policy areas and reveal a complex picture of political change and continuity throughout the country. The Impact of Devolution in Wales offers an essential starting point for thinking about the future of Wales in the twenty-first century.
