Scottish Politics in the Twentieth Century (British History in Perspective, 31)

The book examines and seeks to explain the extent to which politics in Scotland in the twentieth century has both deviated from and conformed to the overall British pattern. Attention is devoted to the impact of differences from the rest of Britain in Scottish social and economic structures, as well as distinctive ideological and historical influences, in shaping the particular course of political development in Scotland. Original research enlivens Hutchison's masterly synthesis of current work in the field.
