New article on devolution published by researchers on our cultural devolution team
Dr James Hickson (Heseltine Institute) and Dr Jack Newman (University of Bristol) — both contributors to our flagship Future of Cultural Decision Making in the UK programme — have published a new article in The Political Quarterly. The piece digs into how different “justifications” for devolution often pull against each other, leaving ambiguity and frustration in their wake. We consider the potential implications for culture, creativity and heritage.
Cultural devolution evidence base published
Over the last nine months, the Culture Commons team has been working closely with leading universities and research institutions across the UK to develop new research exploring devolution and increased local decision making as part of a major four-nations open policy development programme. Today we make all that research publicly available to uphold out commitment to open and transparent policy making.
