The UK has always been perceived to be a union with room for Scotland and Wales to adjust national policy towards regional preferences through government offices. With devolution both countries obtained their own representative institutions and the authority to decide upon policy by themselves. By placing the UK in a comparative perspective, Arjan Schakel will show that devolution is incomplete and that the countries lack in shared rule. Once shared rule mechanisms are put in place, nationalism and the secessionist threat will decline.

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
