本文探讨了 2014 年 9 月苏格兰公投后英国权力下放的本质。它认为,权力下放的过程最好被理解为精英选举的过程。对公民利益的关注有限,而且迄今为止该过程的性质几乎没有证据表明英国政治体系中现有的权力结构正在受到挑战。这些动态是通过英国政治传统(BPT)提供的概念镜头来解释的,它强调威斯敏斯特阶级在当前权力下放压力的背景下维持中央权力和控制的重要性。权力下放议程中缺乏任何有意义的、基于辅助性的民主解决方案,这表明了这一点。文章最后指出,正在展开的是一个经济和行政权力下放的过程,而不是民主知情的权力下放过程,这对阻止“反政治”的崛起无济于事。
This article explores the nature of devolution unfolding in England following on from the September 2014 Scottish Referendum. It argues that the process of devolution can best be understood as one of elite co-option. Limited attention is being paid to the interest of citizens and the nature of the process to date reveals little evidence to suggest that the existing structures of power in the British political system are being challenged. These dynamics are explained through the conceptual lens offered by the British political tradition (BPT), which stresses the importance the Westminster class places on maintaining central power and control in the context of current devolutionary pressures. This is revealed by the absence from the devolutionary agenda of any meaningful, subsidiarity-informed democratic settlement. The article concludes by suggesting that what is unfolding is a process of economic and administrative rather than democratically informed devolution which will do little to arrest the rise of ‘anti-politics’.
