Summary

This edited book tracks Northern Ireland's uneasy experience with devolution following the optimistic political period associated with the 1998 Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement. It will be of interest to students of Irish politics and public policy, but more generally, from a comparative perspective, those with an interest in devolution and constitutional change.
