The politics of devolution

Introduction

This unit, which contains material from the current Open University second level Politics course DD203 Power, Equality and Dissent, is pitched at the intermediate level. It should take you about 8 hours to study if you attempt the recommended exercises and make summary notes of its key points. Doing so will allow you to practise the crucial academic skill of summary and précis – extracting the gist of an argument – which will be of particular help if you go on to study in related areas: perhaps the related politics units on the OpenLearn website or in the Open University courses from which they come.

This unit is an adapted extract from the course Power, dissent, equality: understanding contemporary politics (DD203) [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)]
