in the parties outside Parliament, and in the media. It will be of

interested in how the UK coalition works in practice and not just in
theory. |

Doing Politics As a Member of Parliament for nearly two decades he represented the voice of sanity and reason in the House of Commons. As Chair of the influential Public Administration Committee – according to Anthony King, one of those rare committee chairmen who ‘have become public figures in their own right’ – he kept up a running commentary on the conduct of government. He was the politician who forewarned of the parliamentary expenses scandal and who took the initiative in getting the House of Commons to reform. |

Edited by Alan Trench (Imprint, September 2008) 2007 saw dramatic changes in the UK's devolved politics, with the arrival in office of nationalist parties in Scotland and Wales and the restoration of devolved government in Northern Ireland, as well as a change of prime minister in London. The State of the Nations 2008 considers why these changes happened and charts the impact they have had across teh United Kingdom. It also looks at some broader underlying issues - in particular the financial arrangements for devolution, influences on devolved policy-making, the role of Scottish and Welsh MPs at Westminster and intergovernmental relations in a comparative context. |

Devolution and Power in the UK Edited by Alan Trench (MUP, July 2007) Devolution and power in the United Kingdom is concerned with a paradox – why devolution has enabled different approaches to government and policy-making to develop in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland since 1999, while a close examination of the structure of devolution suggests that the UK government retains control over most key aspects of the UK. |
|
The English Question England remains a gaping hole in the devolution settlement. Devolution
will not be complete, and the settlement may not be stable, until the
English Question has been solved. Does England need to find its own
political voice, following devolution to Scotland and Wales? Do the
English want an English parliament; regional assemblies in England; or
'English votes on English laws'? Or are the English content to muddle
through, with no separate representation or political voice? |
|
The Dynamics of Devolution: The State of the Nations 2005 Edited by Alan Trench (Imprint, May 2005) Devolution is a dynamic process.The institutional changes of the late

have acquired a momentum of their own. The relationship between these

years, is the most interesting question about devolution. This book
explores the future of devolution, by examining the new politicl
dynamics devolution has put into play. |
