The Government and Politics of Wales

This new textbook explains Welsh devolution through the use of case studies, critical analysis and clear explanations of processes and terms. As the Welsh Assembly moves towards becoming a Welsh Parliament and the Welsh Government fashions a Welsh policy agenda, distinct from Westminster, students of British politics will learn how Welsh politics works in practice and how it is evolving.

• Specially written by teachers and lecturers for students of Welsh government and politics on AS, A2 and undergraduate courses
• 10 case studies illuminate the nature and analysis of Welsh politics
• Detailed, critical analysis of the National Assembly and the law-making process explains how laws are made in Wales, which is different from the rest of the UK
• Divided into short, easy-to read sub-sections, with worked examples and analysis tailored to student needs
• Includes a glossary of key terms that are essential to understanding Welsh government and politics but are hard to find in a Welsh context
