Abstract

In this chapter, Chris McCorkindale assesses the significance of Aileen McHarg's chapter ‘Unity and Diversity in the United Kingdom's Territorial Constitution’. After first exploring the biographical influences on McHarg's thought, drawing on an interview with the author, McCorkindale explores divergence within the UK constitution, exacerbated and challenged by Brexit, and the urgent need – highlighted by McHarg's chapter – for a more holistic and sophisticated approach to the constitutional relationship between the devolved jurisdictions and the centre.
