The chapter attempts to answer three questions by taking the United Kingdom and the devolution process started in 1998 as a case study. First, can a non-centralised State at the same time be a Welfare State? In other words, can social rights be adequately promoted and protected in composite or non-centralised States? Secondly, can a State really be autonomous if it lacks any form of fiscal federalism? And finally, in cases involving a devolved State that does not make provision for a de-centralised tax system, what will the effects be on public services?

Abstract

The chapter attempts to answer three questions by taking the United Kingdom and the devolution process started in 1998 as a case study. First, can a non-centralised State at the same time be a Welfare State? In other words, can social rights be adequately promoted and protected in composite or non-centralised States? Secondly, can a State really be autonomous if it lacks any form of fiscal federalism? And finally, in cases involving a devolved State that does not make provision for a de-centralised tax system, what will the effects be on public services?
