Now substantially revised and rewritten in the light of the 1997 General Election and Devolution referendum, the second edition of this text provides an up-to-date assessment of Scottish politics under Blair's government and the likely impact of the new Scottish Parliament. The book focuses in particular on Scotland's constitutional position within the UK; its system of policy making; the nature of the Scottish economy; and the changing patterns of party electoral and grass roots politics. An important feature is its focus throughout on the relationship between culture, identity and ethnicity and that between politics and civil society as it has developed since the Act of Union in 1707.

Industry Reviews

'This is a well-argued, intelligent and subtle book which could be read with profit throughout the UK. I recommend it.'- David Baillic, Talking Politics 'The book is very well structured and written, and presents a wealth of evidence. It is to be warmly recommended as an intelligent text book that engages in critical discussion of conventional wisdom and opens up the study of Scottish politics to further debate.' - Jonathan Bradbury, West European Politics '...a highly intelligent and informative book on Scottish Politics.' - Peter Dorey, The Times Higher Education Supplement
