Burch M.，戈麦斯河，Hogwood P.和Scott A.（2005）权力下放，变化和欧盟政策制定在英国，区域研究39，465-475。本文探讨了在何种程度上欧盟的政策制定在英国已经改变了权力下放的结果。本文件利用了有关经济发展和结构基金、农业和农村发展以及环境政策的材料。审查了政策结果（内容和影响）发生变化的程度。来自苏格兰、威尔士、英格兰地区和英国中央政府的证据表明，目前还不可能以任何全面和明确的方式判断政策结果的变化幅度。因此，本文集中讨论了权力下放后处理欧盟相关政策的方式的变化。一个论点强调连续性与前下放审查和发现不足。在处理政策的变化进行评估的政治“潜力”和“机会空间”的概念。考虑到关键参与者的变化，政策处理网络，以及支持政策制定的价值观和理解。很明显，与英格兰地区和许多其他成员国的地区相比，威尔士和苏格兰在国家欧洲政策制定中享有特权，如果依赖的话。他们以更有针对性的方式应用新资源，并在欧洲寻求更大的领土，同时仍然是英国/欧盟政策制定的内部参与者。得出的结论是，在英国的多层次治理的新兴体系中，在处理欧洲政策的变化幅度各不相同的领土和政策，但在威尔士和苏格兰是特别重要的。此外，这些变化正在开始，并将继续对结果产生影响。
Burch M., Gomez R., Hogwood P. and Scott A. (2005) Devolution, change and European Union policy‐making in the UK, Regional Studies 39 , 465–475. This paper explores the extent to which European Union policy‐making in the UK has changed as a result of devolution. The paper draws on material concerning economic development and the structural funds, agriculture and rural development, and environmental policy. The extent to which there has been a change in the outcomes (content and impact) of policy is examined. Evidence from Scotland, Wales, the English regions and UK central government reveals that it is not yet possible to judge the magnitude of changes in policy outcomes in any comprehensive and definitive way. Consequently, the paper concentrates on changes in the way European Union‐related policies have been handled post‐devolution. An argument emphasizing continuity with pre‐devolution is examined and found wanting. Changes in the handling of policy are evaluated in relation to notions of political ‘potential’ and ‘opportunity space’. Consideration is given to changes in key participants, policy‐handling networks, and the values and understandings underpinning policy‐making. It is clear that in comparison with the English regions and regions in many other Member States, Wales and Scotland enjoy a privileged if dependent position in national European policy‐making. They have applied new resources in a more focused way and have pursued a more territorial take on Europe, while still remaining insider participants in UK/European Union policy‐making. The conclusion is drawn that in the emerging system of UK multilevel governance, the magnitude of change in the handling of European policy varies across territory and policy, but is especially significant in relation to Wales and Scotland. Moreover, these changes are beginning and will continue to impact on outcomes.
