到目前为止，对威尔士权力下放的审查主要集中在经验描述和积极分析上；几乎没有关于如何判断或评估的讨论。我通过考虑关于权力下放的论点和可用来评价这一进程的各种规范性价值观来纠正这种不平衡。权力下放的论据有两种基本类型。一些人是结果论者：这种权力下放是可取的，因为它被认为具有良好或可取的效果。其他的则是道义论的：这种权力下放被认为具有内在的价值。任何试图通过结果主义推理来证明和评估权力下放的尝试，都等同于后临时推理者的合理化。社会科学远不能预测重大制度变革的全球长期净平衡影响，例如威尔士的权力下放。我进一步认为，自治的非结果主义价值是权力下放过程的根本理由。应该根据权力下放如何吸引、支持或体现这一价值来判断权力下放。
Reviews of devolution in Wales have been focussed so far on empirical description and positive analysis; there has been almost no discussion of how it should be judged or evaluated. I redress this imbalance by considering the arguments for devolution and the various normative values that may be used to evaluate the process. The arguments for devolution are of two basic kinds. Some are consequentialist: that devolution is desired on the grounds that it is believed to have good or desirable effects. Others are deontological: that devolution is thought to be intrinsically valuable. Any attempt to justify and evaluate devolution by consequentialist reasoning amounts to post hoc ergo propter hoc rationalisation. The social sciences are a long way from allowing the prediction of the global long-term net equilibrium effects of a major institutional change such as devolution in Wales. I further argue that the nonconsequentialist value of autonomy is the underlying justification for the devolution process. Devolution should be judged according to how it appeals to, supports or embodies this value.
