SCOTLAND: THE NEW STATE OF AN OLD NATION (HB)

Scotland’s future in the Union is in question. Since Devolution in 1997, there has been a sea-change in Scotland’s sense of itself. A distinct Scottish political culture has emerged: confident, assertive and increasingly divergent from that of its southern neighbours. Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain in the European Union, putting it at odds with much of the rest of the United Kingdom. This book unpicks the complex weave of Scottish politics, society and culture, providing an essential insight into Scotland’s present – and its future.
