More DescriptionThis 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.
