Course descriptionThe devolution of political power from Westminster has been a key theme in British and Irish politics throughout the 19th and 20th centuries: it has a particular contemporary resonance, given the creation of assemblies in Northern Ireland and Wales and a parliament in Scotland by Tony Blair's Labour government. This module considers different Irish and British efforts to create devolved political institutions while retaining the political sovereignty of Westminster. It considers the variants of Home Rule in Ireland and Scotland, as well as successive British attempts to redefine and revitalise the Union through federal and other devolved political structures. The module also dwells at length on the evolution of Unionist opposition to Irish Home Rule.
