威尔士和苏格兰创建权力下放机构的基本理念是广泛的，导致权力在二十多年来不断增长。在最近的英国脱欧立法之后，这种做法现在受到了挑战，这与过去的工会主义做法形成了鲜明对比。 Covid-19 大流行提高了权力下放的知名度，同时暴露了政府间关系中现有的紧张局势。本文指出了过去二十年来运作的四种形式的工会主义——被动的、积极的、进步的和强硬的——并质疑强硬的工会主义现在是否可以被视为一种治国手段。那些主张进一步权力下放的“进步工会主义者”应该避免“宪法决定论”——即除非进行进一步的宪法改革，否则强有力的工会主义将不可避免地导致英国解体。 [作者摘要] 《政治季刊》的版权属于 Wiley-Blackwell 的财产，未经版权所有者明确书面许可，不得将其内容复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个网站或发布到列表服务器。但是，用户可以打印、下载或通过电子邮件发送文章供个人使用。本摘要可能会被删节。不保证副本的准确性。用户应参阅该材料的原始发布版本以获取完整摘要。 （版权适用于所有摘要。）
The philosophy underlying the creation of the devolved institutions in Wales and Scotland was expansive, leading to a growth in powers over twenty years. That approach is now under challenge following recent Brexit legislation, which marks a sharp contrast with the unionist approaches of the past. The Covid‐19 pandemic provided a visibility boost for devolution, while exposing existing tensions in intergovernmental relations. This article identifies four forms of unionism in operation over the last twenty years—passive, activist, progressive and muscular—and questions whether muscular unionism can now be considered a form of statecraft. Those ‘progressive unionists’ who advocate further devolution should avoid ‘constitutional determinism’—the assumption that muscular unionism will inevitably lead to a breakup of the UK unless further constitutional reform takes place.
