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

Abstract

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.
