DOWNLOAD EBOOKExplore the questions our own human history evokes. Humanity doesn’t know enough about our own history and as a result we are set to fail as a species. We measure our ancestors by our curent understanding of technology. We can’t begin to fathom the feats they were able to accompolish, which far surpassed our own abilites. At first glance we can marvel at how far we’ve come as a species, but have we been paying attention? Have our efforts been in the best interest of all or might our hunger for more be our demise? Take a journey to investigate not only where we’ve been but will also let history serve as a warning to where we are going. Will we be able to survive ourselves and our own technological advancements? Can awareness save us or will it be too late?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the first of a major two-volume work which provides an authoritative account of devolution in the UK since the initial settlement under New Labour in 1997. This first volume meets the need for a comprehensive, UK-wide analysis of the formative years of devolution from the years 1997 to 2007, offering a rigorous and theoretically innovative re-examination of the period that traces territorial politics from initial settlements in Scotland and Wales and the Good Friday agreement in Northern Ireland to early maturity. Bradbury reviews the trajectory and influencing factors of devolution and its subsequent impacts, using a novel framework to set a significant new agenda for thinking and research on devolution.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCovering the impact of austerity, Brexit, the Scottish Independence Referendum and the collapse of the Northern Ireland Executive, this book discusses how wider national developments shape and are shaped by the process of devolution in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England, assessing its impact on politics, policy and public administration. Drawing together extensive scholarship on devolution, Devolution in the UK compares the similarities and differences between the different devolved nations, and tackles key questions: - Where did devolution come from, and what does its future look like? - What are the most effective devolution systems, and what are their benefits? - Why does Wales have fewer devolved powers than Scotland and Northern Ireland? - What impact will Brexit have? - Why are national identities, symbols, languages, flags and culture so important? Spanning the introduction of devolution in 1988 to the present, this is essential reading if you are studying devolution, one of the country-specific political systems, or interested in UK politics as a whole.
