Books by Lindsay Paterson

This book explores the governance of the UK, and the process of constitutional change, between Scotland's independence referendum in September 2014 and the UK general election in May 2015. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of UK politics, devolution, constitutional change, public attitudes, and territorial politics.

Lindsay Paterson draws together for the first time a collection of the key arguments for and against the reinstating of a Scottish Parliament.

An analysis of Scotland's first parliamentary election in May 1999, which also looks to the future of Scottish politics, Scottish social attitudes and Scotland's relationship with the rest of the United Kingdom.

Substantially revised and rewritten in the light of the 1997 General Election and Devolution referendum, the 2nd edition of this widely-used text provides an up-to-date assessment of Scottish politics under Blair and the likely impact of the new Scottish Parliament.

Lindsay Paterson argues that throughout the last 300 years the nature of Scottish independence has changed frequently.
