Scotland's Gàidhealtachd Futures: An introduction
This special issue of Scottish Affairs is the first to be solely dedicated to matters relating to Scotland's Gàidhealtachd. Scottish Affairs has a broad, interdisciplinary readership and this informs our approach as guest editors for the special issue. As such, the focus for the issue is to be future-oriented, whilst necessarily being informed by cultural context, contemporary society and lived experience. By curating the articles in these terms,…
Our Pluriverse and Gàidhealtachd: Emplacing Ethical Relations
In this brief essay, to conclude the special issue, I take a reflexive and ontological (re)turn to the Gàidhealtachd. After completing our main task of bringing this collection together, an emplaced and ontological turn has been in some measure evident across the articles, emphasising relationships with place/s. In writing up our guest editors' introduction, a related emergent theme, or atmosphere, of place and ontological relations within the Gà…
The Civic and Social Paradoxes of Neighborhood Racial Integration
Integration is an appealing yet complex concept. People who live around other races show more tolerance and are more likely to establish interracial friendships and social contacts, and would seem to have no problem living in a larger, multicultural society. Considering that whites remain the largest minority group in the United States, however, predominantly white areas will inevitably be penetrated by other groups. Under such circumstances, int…
Interracial Civic and Social Contact in Multiethnic America
One plausible explanation for the tendency of people who live in integrated neighborhoods to be less racially averse is provided by Gordon Allport's hypotheses about racial contact. People residing in racially mixed neighborhoods may exhibit greater tolerance towards other groups because their socially learned prejudices are offset by their daily social experiences and interactions. This theory finds support in recent research suggesting that int…
On Segregation and Multiculturalism
There have been recent concerns about the implications of America's increasing diversity for its racial future. Given the country's long history of racial division between whites and African Americans, coupled with the addition of two large minority groups, Latinos and Asian Americans, racial segregation is likely to get worse. Aside from diversity, immigrants and the persistence of inequality among various racial groups have also been cited as t…
Articulating 'Home' from 'Away': Cultural Identities, Belonging and Citizenship
This article is a discussion on cultural identity and belonging, focusing on some examples of people who are articulating or 'doing' identity in the Scottish Hebrides. In particular, it explores a re-articulation of cultural identity and belonging, not as the essential root or representation of social inclusion but as an ongoing production or creation of social relations, processes and practices, including rootedness and connectedness. In doing s…

Scottish Gaelic Identities: Contexts and Contingencies
On September 27* 2004 the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Bill was introduced to the Scottish Parliament. It is expected that the Bill, given the overwhelming cross-party support to secure the status of Gaelic in Scotland, will be enacted by the summer of 2005} In some respects, then, this law will be the end of a long road for Scottish Gaelic. A 'Gaelic Renaissance has been evolving in Scotland for several decades now, with the Gaelic language and cu…

Political factors in the fall of RolIs‐Royce
While economic and technological difficulties greatly reduced Rolls‐Royce's viability, its passing into receivership can be adequately explained only by invoking additional (and largely political) factors. In the absence of any automatic criteria for aborting a losing project, the Conservative government of the day responded to an abundance of consistently negative politioal implications. Unfortunately for its continued survival, the Rolls‐Royce …
Turnover and "Family Circles" in Soviet Administration
Students of the Soviet political system have frequently noted the high turnover rates and the short terms of office of middle and lower ranking Soviet party and governmental officials. Soviet leaders have striven to combat the formation of informal structures within the party and governmental bureaucracies which, if allowed to go unchecked, could erode the control of the central political leadership

Citizen Demands and the Soviet Political System
Political scientists interested in non-Communist systems have paid considerable attention to demands (expressions of opinion that an authoritative allocation with regard to particular subject matters should or should not be made by those responsible for doing so) coming from the intra-societal (domestic) environments of these political systems. The importance of intra-societal demands, including citizen demands, for non-Communist systems is well …
