This book examines the governance arrangements in Northern Ireland through a multi-level lens, particularly in the period since the new institutions established through the 1998 Agreement became more firmly embedded.
This is the first comprehensive study of the operation of direct rule between 1972 and 2007 as a system of governance. How direct rule moulded the institutions of governance is analysed in detail. In addition, direct rule is compared with devolution, identifying the deficiencies and advantages of both systems.
With new devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, this book provides a study of developments in the major areas of social policy and a full comparison between the four UK nations.
