Abstract
This article contributes to scholarship on intergovernmental relations (IGR) and de-Europeanisation through analysis of IGR in the UK following devolution, pre- and post-Brexit. We argue that incommensurable understandings of the post-devolution state at the central and devolved levels – and related, contradictory expectations about how IGR should operate – precludes the existence of any mutually satisfactory IGR arrangements in the UK. The state’s European Union membership nonetheless provided a means of partly mitigating the resulting tensions by underpinning a subset of IGR activity that was genuinely functional. Brexit has thus removed one of the means of ameliorating inter-territorial differences within the state.
