The pressures to embrace these movements may become increasingly irresistible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCan England and Wales navigate the evolving landscape and find a way to adapt to the state's new position in the world? What constitutional and federal arrangements can safeguard against the disintegration of the British state?
