Scotland: Towards Quebec - or Slovakia?

Abstract

Scottish devolution is an accomplished fact. It will not be reversed. Even the political agents who originally opposed it now benefit from its continuation. But will it remain unchanged? Is Scottish devolution a slippery slope towards independence, or a stable resting point? This article studies the interactive dynamics of devolution. Devolution allows policies to diverge in the self-governing parts of the UK. But it raises difficult financial and representational issues, which could lead to the devolution settlement being unpicked from England.
