Scotland and the United Kingdom


Book Description

This study explores the economic case for Scotland's continued union with the UK.The growth of political support for the Scottish National Party during the past twenty years has generated substantial debate in Scotland about the relative virtues of independence or continued union with the United Kingdom. The exploitation of Scotland's oil from the 1970's provided an economic basis for the case for independence. This book explores the case for union, devolution or independence on economic grounds.

Who Governs Scotland?


Book Description

This book addresses the premise that the question of who governs Scotland has become increasingly ambiguous, thanks in part to European integration, globalisation and devolution within the UK. It argues that although the concept of multi-level governance helped illuminate regionalism with the EU, it was not an appropriate model for Scotland. This well researched and powerfully argued book, adds greatly to the debate on constitutional reform, and offers invaluable insight into the Scottish Parliament's foreign affair agenda.
