Nor can we rely on post-devolution practices in relations among the various governments based on bilateral relations between London and Dublin, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. Instead, P olitical Change across Britain and Ireland examines the whole web of what has been called the totality of relationships among the peoples of this island, asking difficult questions about identities, institutions and prospects for the future.
