Scottish Politics in the Twentieth Century

The book examines the main developments in the political history of Scotland during this century. With every likelihood that developments in Scotland will play a major part in British politics in the immediate future, there is obviously a need for a study providing a wider context to the present position. Attention will be paid both to points of convergence with and divergence from the overall British pattern of political development in the period.
