Has Devolution Made a Difference?: The State of the Nations 2004

"This research programme truly represents the Ordnance Survey of devolution."--Klaus Stolz "Regional and Federal Studies "

"The developing nature of devolution means that the monographs published during the early years of the process were unable to analyse the 'efficient' operation of the devolution process and thus they present a one-dimensional view of the UK's devolved constitutional structure. The State of the Nations series, in providing an ongoing and post-facto analysis of the devolution process, has the advantage of 20/20 hindsight... It should be a first port of call for those interested in devolution in the UK."--John Hopkins "European Public Law "

"An indispensable reference book on devolution in the UK, but also an attempt at an evaluation of the first five years."--Barry K. Winetrobe "BJPIR "
