The UK General Election in Scotland
The Scottish election results from the 2024 Westminster election were yet another contest defined by major change in constituencies, individuals and party performance. After a long period of dominance by Labour in Scotland, the aftermath of the 2014 independence referendum witnessed substantial change and volatility at each of the subsequent four UK elections. While Labour's re‐emergence as Scotland's dominant party at Westminster in 2024 and the…
From Donald Dewar to Humza Yousaf
The establishment of the Scottish Parliament created new institutions and a political environment which has had lasting implications for Scottish and UK politics, including furthering the rise of the Scottish National Party and the independence question. One central element of this new terrain has been the emergence of the Scottish government and the post of First Minister of Scotland. The latter, the most prominent devolved political position in…
'A decisive effort is necessary'
The starting point of this discussion is Wright's On Living in an Old Country (1985), which sought to understand how a selective idea of national tradition had been mobilised by Thatcher for a disruptive political project that was fundamentally destructive of tradition.

Civil Society, the Rise and Fall of Civic Scotland, and Contextualising Media
Much has been written about Scottish civil society in recent decades – by academics, writers and commentators. Most of these interventions have not attempted a detailed and critical examination of civil society by locating it in its structural, social and ideological locations, noting who it speaks for and who it doesn't. Similarly, examination of the media in Scotland has tended to not address its place in wider civil society and the consequence…
After the Landslide
Minority Interest Nation
Scotland's media has traditionally provided one of the central aspects of Scottish distinctiveness, autonomy and identity. This has often historically been viewed unproblematically and uncritically, but in recent times, the selective discourses of the mainstream media have come under increasing scrutiny and challenge, particularly in the recent independence referendum. This article examines the changing output of BBC and STV , considering in deta…
Anatomy of a Scottish Revolution
Scottish politics isn't about some remote northern politics but go to the heart of the nature, character and power dimensions of the UK and British state. Scotland has been dramatically changed by the scale of the SNP landslide victory in the 2011 Scottish Parliament elections. Scottish society, identity and culture along with the politics of unionism and nationalism have all changed and will change further. The old fashioned politics of devoluti…
The modern SNP
"The Scottish National Party has played a significant role in the politics of Scotland in the last forty years. In particular it has contributed to and shaped the impact and dynamics of devolution. This collection brings together academics, writers, commentators and analysts of Scottish politics to address the nature of the SNP: its position in Scotland, its influence on devolution, its role as a minority administration and its relationship with …
