Alex Salmond, 1954–2024
This editorial marks the death of Alex Salmond, a leading figure in modern Scottish politics. Salmond’s political achievements were very considerable, although his legacy, marked by allegations of sexual impropriety, is more complex and highly contested
Anti-Catholicism and British Identities
Religion in Scotland’s 2022 Census
This article examines a key feature of Scotland’s religious landscape as reported through the 2022 Census: the rise of the religiously unaffiliated, or ‘Nones’. Nones are marked out by strong age factors and clear – though diminishing – sex differentials. Considerable regional variation is also explained through the extent of secularisation amongst (formerly) Protestant communities and greater resistance to those forces amongst Roman Catholics. O…
How many cops to arrest climate chaos?’ Mass policing of protests at COP26
In advance of the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) summit in Glasgow in 2021, Police Scotland insisted that human rights and facilitation would be central to their operation. When the event passed off peacefully, without any of the mass arrests and disorder seen at previous iterations of COP, the Police declared it a huge success. We draw on research with activists and officers to scrutinize this claim and analyse the policing of COP26. Lit…
Don’t talk to them!’ on the promise and the pitfalls of liaison policing at COP26
Initially introduced and hailed as means of offering more democratic and facilitative policing, but increasingly subject to question by protestors, Police Liaison Teams (PLTs) are one of the primary tactical options used by Public Order Police in the UK. This paper will analyse the deployment of PLTs over the 14 days of the global COP26 summit in Glasgow in 2021. The police plan for the event emphasised Human Rights, dialogue and facilitation, bu…
First they came for the Young Communists
The COP26 Climate Summit held in Glasgow in November 2021 was expected to attract mass protests. Given the climate crisis and the increase in direct action in the UK, the police anticipated huge numbers with the potential for significant disorder. Despite this, Police Scotland insisted that they were committed to facilitating peaceful protest. Drawing on ethnographic observation and interviews with both police and protestors, this paper offers an…
All Change. Again
The Spring of 2024 saw further political turmoil in Holyrood. The Bute House Agreement between the Scottish National Party (SNP) and the Scottish Greens came to an abrupt end, and resulted in the subsequent resignation of Humza Yousaf as leader of the SNP and, thus, as Scotland’s First Minister. This editorial essay surveys the events contributing to the crisis and considers the prospects of a minority Scottish Government led by the SNP’s John Sw…
Across the Narrow Sea
Scottish Affairs at Thirty
This editorial essay reviews thirty years of Scottish Affairs, from its ‘prehistoric’ roots in the Scottish Government Yearbooks, through its initial launch and overall development. It reiterates this journal's various commitments, not least to providing a forum for, and to encourage, well-informed debate on, and around, Scotland
Scottish Affairs at Thirty
Research Note
The policing of protest remains a vexed and contentious area, and this article examines the operation by Police Scotland around the National Service of Thanksgiving for King Charles and Queen Camilla in Edinburgh, July 2023 . There were a number of reasons why this particular operation faced a high degree of scrutiny, not least several arrests made some months previously around the funeral of the late Queen, and arrests made by the Metropolitan P…
Scotland's Catholics, A Distinctive Community
Despite persistent debate about the status and character of Scotland’s Catholic community the question of how distinctive – if at all – Scotland’s Catholics are within a wider British Catholicism is seldom asked. Utilising the newly released Catholics in Britain Survey of 2019 this short article sketches out some comparative evidence on Catholic religiosity, moral values, family, and personal networks. It concludes that Scotland’s Catholicism is …
Losing Faith in the Sister Isle
An Enduring Connection
This contribution to the theme of ‘Scotland and the Two Irelands’ takes the form of a discussion between Michael Rosie, editor of Scottish Affairs, and Professor Sir Tom Devine, the pre-eminent scholar of modern connections between Scotland and Ireland. In the discussion Devine unfolds the migrant autobiographies of the Devine and Martin families, from rural Ulster, through industrial Lanarkshire, and into Scotland’s professional classes. The acc…
Educational outcomes of political participation? Young first-time voters 3 years after the Scottish Independence Referendum
After the enfranchisement of 16- and 17-year olds in the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum, much research continued to prioritise questions of how education influences young people's political engagement. By contrast, this paper advances an original focus on educational outcomes of youth political participation and investigates how political engagement might have educational consequences. Shortly after the referendum, we interviewed a strateg…
A radical moderate
Tariq Modood is a ‘go to’ scholar on a range of issues on identity, religion and society in the contemporary world, not least in the evolving debates around multiculturalism and its potentialities
Sectarianism in Scotland
GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup('ISBN:9780748619115');Is Scotland a sectarian society?Scotland is divided not by religion as much as by arguments about the enduring importance of religious divisions. The 'curse' of Sectarianism is debated in the Parliament, the General Assembly and in the media. What we have not had until now is a serious assessment of the evidence. This book tests the rhetoric with historical and social scientific data, describing …
Lost and Forgotten
Becoming independent
Sociological debates on youth engagement with electoral politics play out against a backdrop of supposed 'decline' in civic participation (e.g. Putnam , Norris, ), in turn contextualized by theories of individualization in 'late' or 'reflexive' modernity (Beck, Giddens). However, the enfranchisement of 16 and 17 year olds in the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum catalysed remarkably high levels of voter turnout among this youngest group, and …
‘The Essence of the Union ...’
Linda Colley (1996) identified three key ‘glues’ for the British Union state created in 1707: extensive wars with France; a uniting sense of Protestantism; and a burgeoning commercial and military empire. This article explores how two key parts of this project – namely, ‘unionism’ and a collective sense of ‘Britishness’ – has become increasingly disconnected in different parts of the United Kingdom. In particular, it examines the extent to which,…
Tackling Sectarianism in Scotland
The Advisory Group on Tackling Sectarianism in Scotland (AGoTS) was established in August 2012 to provide Scottish Ministers with impartial advice on how to develop and assess work to tackle sectarianism in Scotland. Key to the Group's work was understanding the forms that sectarianism may (or may not) take in contemporary Scotland, and how best to address these. This article sets out an overview of the Group, as well as outlining the key contour…
The Sectarian Iceberg
This article situates the contemporary evidential position on Scotland's sectarianism within some longer-term and ongoing debates. It does so by addressing three key aspects of sectarianism in Scotland. Firstly it explores long-standing concerns about sectarianism in Scotland, and the puzzle that sectarianism frequently seems to be someone else's problem. It then outlines some central evidential claims made about sectarianism in the 1980s and why…
Everybody's Scottish at the end of the day’
In the wake of the diverse mobilization for Yes in the 2014 Independence Referendum and unprecedented SNP gains in the 2015 General Election, a number of commentators deployed a rhetoric of ‘dangerous nationalism’ by way of explanation and criticism. Such an interpretation is refuted by survey evidence and complicated by sociologies of nationalism and national identity. This short article joins these debates, and presents analysis of ten explorat…
Scotland
Two years – 2014 and 2015 – saw remarkable and profound developments in Scotland's political history. This introduction to a Special Issue of Scottish Affairs that examines these developments outlines Scotland's tumultuous years, why they are inevitably puzzling, and why they are perhaps unresolvable. It then notes key and salient points from the various contributions in the volume
Tall Tales
There are a number of tall tales about how religion shapes opinions on Scotland's constitutional future. This article outlines some of the more common of these, as well as claims of a recent ‘silent revolution’ amongst Scotland's Catholics. These are examined through the evidence of Scottish Social Attitudes Surveys. The article concludes that the apparent associations between religious group and support for independence in fact spring from diffe…

Nation Speaking Unto Nation? Newspapers and National Identity in the Devolved UK
There are two problems with the existing account of the relationship between newspapers and national identity in the UK. The first is that although it is widely assumed that the mass media are central to the reproduction and evolution of national identity this has never been empirically demonstrated. The second is that exactly what comprises the relevant ‘national’ context in the UK is unclear. Content analysis of 2,500 sampled articles, together…
It's a long way to Auchterarder! 'Negotiated management' and mismanagement in the policing of G8 protests1
Recent analyses of protest policing in Western democracies argue that there has been a marked shift away from oppressive or coercive approaches to an emphasis on consensus based negotiation. King and Waddington (2005) amongst others, however, suggest that the policing of international summits may be an exception to this rule. This paper examines protest policing in relation to the 2005 G8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland. We argue that 'negotiated …
National Identities in Post-Devolution Scotland
Religious discrimination in Scotland
A article in Ethinic and Racial Studies by Walls and Williams makes inferences about religious discrimination in employment from interview data. We question the validity of treating lay people as experts and present large-scale data from two recent surveys and the 2001 Census which suggest that sectarianism is more a social myth than a social reality
National Identities and Attitudes to Constitutional Change in Post-Devolution UK
This paper analyses survey data drawn from two distinct time points (2003 and 2006/07) to examine whether national identities in the UK are associated with support for further constitutional change. It compares all four ‘national’ territories of the UK: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We use logistic regression to model the relationships between identities and constitutional attitudes, taking into consideration other relevant socia…
Mediating Which Nation? Citizenship and National Identities in the British Press
This paper examines one particular aspect of the relationship between citizenship and media, namely the way in which newspapers establish, define or reinforce the boundaries of “national” communities (and thus determine who might be a member). The research is conducted against the background of devolution in the United Kingdom, which helped to focus upon and illuminate the diverse conceptions of national identities within multi-national states. W…

Where is the British national press?1
Although globalization has highlighted the danger of conflating state, society and nation, sociologists remain insufficiently alert to such banal nationalism. Newspapers offer a strong test case of the extent of diversity in the construction of state, national and social boundaries, since Billig and Anderson have argued they comprise a special case where their orientation to an audience simultaneously located in a state, society and nation allows…
The Anarchists' World Cup
In 2005 225,000 people marched through Edinburgh enjoining the G8 to ‘Make Poverty History’. The coalition's own assessment of their campaign highlighted the importance of media by focusing on the extent of media coverage. Media outlets, however, have their own agendas. Detailed analysis of newspaper coverage preceding the G8 Summit suggests a disjuncture between campaign objectives and media frames. This paper explores how far newspaper accounts…
The Polis of 'Global' Protest
Protests at recent international summit meetings have prompted assertions about 'global protest' and 'global civil society'. This article provides a detailed and contextualized analysis of the 2005 G8 summit in Scotland, focusing on the dynamic interplay between police and protestors. The authors argue that local variables were critical to the experience of this manifestation of 'global protest'. Focusing on the policing of events in Edinburgh, t…

Facilitating ineffective protest? The policing of the 2009 Edinburgh Nato protests
This paper reports on innovations in public order policing during the protests surrounding the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) Parliamentary Assembly in Edinburgh, November 2009. When masked anarchist protesters determined to ‘smash NATO’ gathered on the streets on the first morning of the Assembly, they were initially confronted by three plainclothes police negotiators rather than a line of riot police. In this paper, we draw on empiri…

King Mob
As journalists and academics, politicians and other commentators struggled to make sense of the social unrest across England, they reached for theoretical understandings of the crowd that have long since been discredited. The powerful imagery of the madding crowd has always been a popular trope with journalists, but what concerned us was the way in which even sociological commentators echoed such ideas. This paper, therefore, draws on our past re…
The importance of being English
What a Difference a Death Makes
The casual observer of the controversy over policing at April 2009's G20 summit in London might have been forgiven for imagining that Britain's media serves as a bulwark against the abuse of power, fearlessly illuminating and condemning injustice. The publication of video footage and eye-witness accounts to heavy-handed protest policing has certainly raised the profile of this issue and led, concretely, to formal investigation of both individual …
Being and Becoming Scottish
NTRODUCTION Now that the Scottish parliament has been delivered, will devolution lead Scots to place a greater emphasis on being Scottish, or to downplay it in favour of being British? As well as raising questions about the salience of Scottishness, devolution also brings into sharper focus the nature of this identity. All parties in the Scottish Parliament stress a belief in an inclusive Scottishness determined by factors such as birthplace and …

The 'Scottish' Approach? The Discursive Construction of a National Police Force
In 2005, the location of the G8 summit meeting in Gleneagles, Scotland, brought the contested boundaries of the state and the nation to the fore. Confronted by the prospect of significant public disorder police forces in Scotland routinely flagged up a 'Scottish approach to policing'. Drawing on research with key police officers and others we explore the processes through which national identities come to be articulated, contested and acted out i…
Pants to Poverty'? Making Poverty History, Edinburgh 2005
July 2005 saw 225,000 people march through Edinburgh in the city's largest ever demonstration. Their cause was the idealistic injunction to ‘Make Poverty History’ (MPH). This paper presents an analysis of the MPH march, focusing particularly on the interplay between protestors, the police and the media. Drawing on ongoing research, it interrogates the disjunction between projected and actual outcomes, paying particular scrutiny to media speculati…

Areas Cannot be Selective’
There remain those who are unconvinced either that the language has, or should have a future. In recent months we have also seen some harsh criticism of the promotion of Gaelic in Scotland. Questions have even been raised about the value of any support for Gaelic. Some such criticism will always be with us that is the nature of life. But some of the recent commentary has shamed Scotland. For example the suggestion that there should be official 'n…

It's Grim Down South
As the worst urban disorder in a generation played itself out across English cities, one issue preoccupied politicians, journalists and academics north of the Border: why had there been no riots in Scotland? The First Minister Alex Salmond was quick to make the point that Scotland was unaffected by the riots and continued to be ‘open for business’. Salmond and others pointed towards socio-cultural differences between the nations of the United Kin…

Scotland's Referendum
‘Of course it hadn’t’ the editorial continued, as it outlined the need for a serious forum to discuss Scotland – hence this journal. But that sense of despondency, of loss, felt familiar. Compare the graffito of 1992 with the editorial of the Scottish Government Yearbook (precursor to this journal) of 1980. Entitled ‘Scotland: Back into the Closet?’, that editorial reflected on a Scotland, post 1979 Referendum, where the ‘hope or spectre [of an A…
