Devolution in the UK. Moving towards a Dissolved or a Strengthened Union?

Placing the UK in a comparative perspective: What impact does devolution have on the countries?

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.
