Revolution to Devolution

This is an integrated range of studies focusing on Wales by a long-established and internationally-recognised academic authority and member of the House of Lords on the advance of democracy and the evolving idea of national identity in modern Britain. It casts back to the impact of change in Europe and the wider world from the 1789 Revolution in France onwards, covering key personalities such as Lloyd George and the impact of the First World War in Wales, and relates to contemporary debates on Scottish independence and the connections with Europe to open up wider issues of open government, foreign policy, the rule of law and cultural diversity.
