Chasing the dragon? Devolution and the ambiguities of civil society in Wales

University of Wales, Bangor

Devolution promises a new and closer relation between civil society and the National Assembly for Wales, framed by principles of inclusivity and equality of opportunity. Supporters envisage the development of a stronger, more democratic civil society. This article critically assesses progress so far, and explores anxieties that, in the pursuit of improved governance for Wales, the Assembly may become too directive.

Key Words: civil society • devolution • governance • inclusion
