Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the history and ideas of the Scottish Conservative Party since its creation in 1912. You might not believe it now, but the Scottish Conservative Party played a significant role in the politics of Scotland during the last century. The party governed Scotland and the UK for much of the 20th century. But their support has nosedived from a majority of votes and seats at the 1955 general election to just a single constituency and 17 per cent of the vote in May 2010. This collection brings together academics, writers, commentators and analysts of Scottish politics to address the nature of the Scottish Conservative Party: its standing in Scotland, its influence on the Union, its role in the Scottish Parliament and why it fell so out of favour with the Scottish electorate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this way it provides an illuminating perspective and serves as a corrective to both Scoto-centric and Anglo-centric interpretations of events. Previous studies have tended to concentrate on the resources of the main record repositories in London and Edinburgh, and, while these collections are indispensable for any interpretation of the period, they do tend to highlight two types of politics more than others - the political operations of the great landed estates and the 'high politics' of the front benchers - and they are not always fully representative of all parts of Scotland. This book therefore has paid attention to a wide variety of source material in private hands and in local record centres to redress the balance and provide a more balanced picture. This scholarly but very readable study will appeal to all those with an interest in the political history of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diese Monografie untersucht das politische Denken und die geistesgeschichtliche Entwicklung der schottischen Unionisten in der Zeit von 1885/1886 bis 1965. Sie bietet eine analytische Untersuchung der unionistischen Positionen, wobei Bereiche wie politische Geschichte, Ekklesiologie, Sektierertum, Geschichtsschreibung und unionistisch-nationalistische Gefühle untersucht werden. Der Autor kontextualisiert das unionistische Denken innerhalb der Geschichte Schottlands und bietet Erkenntnisse, die sowohl auf Archiv- und Primärquellenforschung als auch auf einem gründlichen historiographischen Hintergrund beruhen. Er untersucht die Komplexität des schottischen Unionismus in dieser entscheidenden Phase zwischen der Spaltung der Liberalen Partei über die Irish Home Rule bis zur Reorganisation der Scottish Unionist Party im Jahr 1965. Anhand des unionistischen Diskurses in dieser Zeit zeigt er die Komplexität der verfassungsrechtlichen und kulturellen Beziehungen Schottlands mit dem Rest des Vereinigten Königreichs auf.

Book excerpt: The Conservative Party in Scotland has often been unpopular, and this electoral unpopularity has conspired to ensure its neglect by political historians. This book helps to plug the gap with its study of an important phase in the history of Scottish Conservatism, the making of Scottish Unionism between 1886 and 1918.
