The Modern SNP: From Protest to Power

Gerry Hassan

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 other institutions in Scotland, the UK and Europe.

Gerry Hassan is a writer, researcher and broadcaster on Scottish and UK politics and policy, and co-author of The Political Guide to Modern Scotland: People, Places and Power (Politico’s 2004).
