Book Synopsis Challenging the State: Devolution and the Battle for Partisan Credibility by : Sonia Alonso
Book excerpt: Why do national governments implement devolution given the high risk that it will encourage peripheral parties to demand ever more devolved powers? The aim of Challenging the State is to answer this question through a comparative analysis of devolution in four European countries: Belgium, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
