Scottish Politics in the 20th Century

This book examines why 20th-century Scottish politics sometimes conformed very closely to the overall British pattern, yet at other times deviated quite appreciably. The reasons for this relationship are traced, with a particular emphasis on the shifting relationship between specifically Scottish factors (notably economic, social, and institutional) and wider British circumstances. For perhaps the first time, a sustained discussion spanning the entire period and the whole country is given. A brief final chapter locates post-1979 developments in the context of the preceding phases of Scottish politics.Hutchison, I. G.
