Devolution in Practice: The Book

On 22 July 2002 the ESRC Devolution and Constitutional Change Programme and the Institute for Public Policy Research launched a major new book titled Devolution in Practice: Public Policy Differences within the UK.

Edited by ippr researchers John Adams and Peter Robinson, the book brings together the findings from a year-long series of seminars run by the Programme and the ippr looking at how devolution has accelerated processes of policy divergence in the delivery of public serviced between the nations of the UK.
