Power Struggles in Aeschylus’ Oresteia
After a brief overview of the Law and Literature movement, this article suggests possible convergences with ESP teaching and the use of classical Greek tragedy. It takes as a “case study” the Oresteia (458 BC), a trilogy by Aeschylus which features the first courtroom drama in Western literature. The first part of the article illustrates how tensions between a private and a civic form of justice lead to a series of power struggles, particularly b…
A Dominant SNP in a Unionist Scotland? The 2019 UK General Election in Scotland
The UK general election in December 2019 produced a resounding victory for Boris Johnson’s Conservatives, returning a majority government and the mandate for Brexit that he had campaigned for. The picture was less rosy for the Conservatives in Scotland, where his party lost half its seats to the SNP. This article reviews the election outcome in Scotland, considering the fortunes of each of the main parties, and projects forward to the devolved el…
Explaining accommodation and resistance to demands for independence referendums in the UK and Spain
This article examines why the UK Government accepted the 2014 Scottish independence referendum while the Spanish Government opposes a similar referendum in Catalonia. Adopting a most similar research design, we argue that the variation is best explained by perceived political opportunities by the two ruling parties. These are embedded in different conceptions of the state and constitutional designs, mostly mononational in Spain and mostly plurina…
Constitutional Change, Social Investment and Prevention Policy in Scotland
The prospect of Scottish independence allowed commentators the chance to reconsider the Scottish Government’s social policy choices. The idea of ‘social investment’ grew in importance since it fits well with the vague notion that Scottish independence is a social democratic project, offering an alternative to ‘austerity politics’ and ‘neoliberalism’. It also complements an existing Scottish Government agenda to reduce inequalities and address its…
La experiencia escocesa en los referenda de devolución y secesión = The Scottish experience of devolution and secession referenda
Consultar e involucrar a la población se ha vuelto habitual en los últimos años. El Reino Unido, que no cuenta con una constitución codificada, ha utilizado el referéndum para decidir sobre diversas cuestiones constitucionales, siendo la más reciente la consulta sobre la permanencia del Reino Unido en la Unión Europea en junio de 2016. Este artículo explora la experiencia escocesa de referenda, examinando el fallido referéndum de devolución de 19…
A Social Democratic Future? Political and Institutional Hurdles in Scotland
The Nordic model has long been admired in Scotland, and has featured prominently in aspects of the Scottish independence referendum debate. This article explores the difficulties in instituting a similar system here, identifying two significant barriers: the institutional setting (the powers available to Scottish politicians) and the partisan nature of competition between the two parties that might be able to deliver upon such a commitment. It co…
The Political Economy of Small European States
An independent Scotland would be a small European state. Small states may be at a disadvantage in world markets but can also adapt successfully. There are different modes of adaptation, notably the market-liberal mode and the social investment state. Either mode is dependent on internal institutions, social relationships and modes of policymaking. It is not possible to pick and choose items of different models since they have an internal coherenc…

How to Lose a Referendum in Seven Ways
This report will examine two referendums in Wales—the 1997 devolution referendum and the upcoming ‘powers referendum’ of 2011. It cites seven distinct pressures which are relevant to both referendums and draws lessons from the experience of the wafer-thin success of the 1997 campaign for the forthcoming 2011 referendum. In so doing, it draws on interviews conducted with key figures in the upcoming campaign, as well as other interested stakeholder…
What's so Special about Legal Translation
The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the main difficulties of legal translation and discuss whether they justify claims that it is a category in its own right. It proposes a wide-ranging definition of legal translation, which calls into question some received notions about its inherent difficulties
