{"product_id":"governing-scotland-james-mitchell-9781349410125","title":"Governing Scotland: The Invention of Administrative Devolution","description":"Governing Scotland explores the origins and development of the Scottish Office in an attempt to understand Scotland's position within the UK union state in the twentieth century. Two competing views were encapsulated in debates on how Scotland should be governed in the early twentieth century: a Whitehall view that emphasised a professional bureaucracy with power centred on London and a Scottish view that emphasised the importance of Scottish national sentiment. These views were ultimately reconciled in 'administrative devolution'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Mitchell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1349410128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781349410125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.57d","brand":"James Mitchell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200578994431,"sku":"9781349410125","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ed7469c-f0ff-4e53-9d4a-f3953179bd45.jpg?v=1756787312","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/governing-scotland-james-mitchell-9781349410125","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
