{"product_id":"scottish-nationalism-richard-finlay-9781350278103","title":"Scottish Nationalism: History, Ideology and the Question of Independence","description":"For more than a decade now, the issue of Scottish independence has been one of the key features in British politics and has raised questions as to the likely survival of the United Kingdom in the post Brexit era. In Scotland, the SNP has been in government since 2007 and has established a political hegemony that makes it the most successful political party in terms of electoral politics in Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet, the political philosophy of this movement has not been studied in any great depth and a number of basic questions remain unanswered, such as why is the movement non-violent and constitutional? Why does it believe that Scotland as a nation should exercise its right to self-determination and how does it square a largely outward-looking and cosmopolitan vision of society with nationalism? This book answers these important questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy examining the evolution of nationalist ideas on Scottish history, its relationship to the philosophy of nationalism, as well as how the Treaty of Union between Scotland and England created an unusual legal and constitutional framework, this book offers new insights into Scottish history and Scotland's place within the Union and relates it to wider international and imperial British history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Finlay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350278106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350278103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Richard Finlay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057175752959,"sku":"9781350278103","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b5410c9-3b3c-422a-8d64-d9b3aa9296d9.jpg?v=1685045469","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scottish-nationalism-richard-finlay-9781350278103","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
