Devolution in a post Brexit landscape: A civil society perspective

Join us at 2.00 pm on Tuesday, 17 December 2024 for the launch of the Civil Society Alliance’s independent research report, Devolution in a Post-Brexit Landscape: A civil society perspective.

Chaired by Dr Katy Hayward, Professor of Political Sociology at Queen’s University Belfast, this is a must-attend event for anyone interested in the future of devolved governance in the UK and the role of civil society in shaping post-Brexit policy landscapes in the UK and beyond.

Writing in a personal capacity the authors present their in-depth analysis of the tensions between the UK and devolved governments as a result of previous regulatory strategies.  

Our distinguished panel of academics will share their expert analysis around the following themes:

 Common Frameorks; Devolution and Divergence: Dr Lisa Claire Whitten

Devolved governments powers to change and replace assimilated law: Anurag Deb and Dr Nicholas Kilford

The UK Internal Market Act:  Prof Thomas Horsley and Prof Dan Wincott

 The discussion will explore:

  • The tensions that arose because of the post Brexit regulatory strategies adopted by the UK government

  • The impact on the relationship between the UK government and the devolved governments in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland

  • The implications for the UK government’s commitment to resetting these relationships

  • How regulatory strategies have created tensions across various policy areas, with a specific focus on the implications for civil society

  • A checklist of key issues for the UK government to consider as part of its review of the post-Brexit regulatory framework.
