Twenty-five years of a Scottish parliament presents the opportunity to take stock of a new Scotland, to be seen in the context of wider social, political and cultural changes occurring over the previous fifty years. The book draws upon a wealth of empirical material to enable us to 'read' this changing Scotland. The time-frame is crucial. We can now see that the transformative moment lay in the long decade of the late 1960s and 1970s, when social, economic and political processes began to transform Scotland in a radical way. Fifty years on, we live in a quite different country. Scotland sits at the nexus of three key concepts: civil society, nation and state. This book tells that story, explains how it came about and its legacy in understanding this new Scotland.
