Devolution in Context (2002) is a work of comparative law that studies Western Europe’s revolution in regional governance. It weaves history, politics and law into a coherent examination of the various structures of regional government, as well as examining the theory and practice that underpin Europe’s regional revolution and the systems of regional government that developed as a result.
