'Taking Back Control': The UK's Constitutional Narrative and Devolution
Join UACES and IACES for the next instalment in their seminar series 'Ireland, the UK and the EU in a time of Crisis'
The UK’s decision to leave the European Union in 2016 threatens to open-up a range of territorial management issues that have long remained unexplored. Since 1999, the UK’s devolution settlements have allowed divergent constitutional narratives to develop and to co-exist. This ‘constructive ambiguity’ has led UK territorial governance to take a form in which Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have and have not experienced fundamental constitutional change. By bringing together insights from all the different UK devolved constituencies, this webinar will explore the latest updates in the field of intergovernmental relations, trade, political (in)stability and possible future independent paths.
