本文考察了在英国脱欧的第一阶段，从欧盟公投到退出协议，苏格兰和威尔士政府在塑造英国脱欧政策方面的权力和影响力。它分析了他们对宪法权威的有限求助，以及他们在努力使英国脱欧政策反映权力下放的政府利益时对程序和软实力的利用。报告区分了英国脱欧的外部层面和内部层面，指出尽管程序性机会增加，但权力下放的政府无法在塑造外部层面上获得任何影响力。相比之下，宪法权力和（尤其是）非宪法权力塑造了国内脱欧进程的政府间动态，帮助下放的政府在英国脱欧立法对权力下放的影响方面获得让步。
This paper examines the power and influence of the Scottish and Welsh governments in shaping UK Brexit policy during the first phase of Brexit, from the European Union referendum to the Withdrawal Agreement. It analyses their limited recourse to constitutional authority, and their exploitation of procedural and soft power, in their efforts to make UK Brexit policy reflect devolved government interests. It draws a distinction between the external and internal dimensions of Brexit, noting the inability of the devolved governments to gain any influence in shaping the former, despite increased procedural opportunities. By contrast, both constitutional and, especially, non-constitutional power shaped intergovernmental dynamics with respect to the domestic Brexit process, helping the devolved governments to secure concessions regarding the impact of UK Brexit legislation on devolution.
