Abstract

Drawing on an extensive set of elite interviews with politicians and civil servants at local and national level, this chapter considers the process that led to the announcement of a devolution deal for Greater Manchester in November 2014. The chapter shows how the devolution model has become a template for other deals, marking a significant development in the governance of England. It reconstructs what was an elite-driven process, with a deal negotiated in secret, and poses questions about the democratic legitimacy of that process.
