The establishment of the Scottish Parliament was marked by a wave of expectations, hopes and dreams for a better Scotland and a different kind of politics. "Tomorrow's Scotland" assesses how successful devolution has been in living up to this promise. Scotland's political parties, institutions, policy debates, political values and identities are all put under the microscope. Can Labour break with the politics of one-party dominance? What chance do the SNP have of winning office and their ultimate goal, independence? Can new forms of leadership develop which take risks and challenge the old ways? Does Scots social democracy have a distinct character and how does it differ from Blairism? "Tomorrow's Scotland" brings together a range of experts, commentators and thinkers, from across all political parties and every aspect Scottish civic life. This book is aimed at anyone interested in the future of contemporary Scotland and the UK.

The Skills That Matter (Critical Perspectives on Work and Organisations, 5)

Contemporary Scotland is undergoing a radical transformation economically, socially, and politically. New elites, institutions, and players are emerging, while old power groups are faced with the challenge of holding onto their previously unquestioned power. Looking across the spectrum of Scottish life and society, this text asks who runs Scotland, who are the key players and elites, and who are the crucial insiders and outsiders, and offers a penetrating map of how decisions are made in Scotland. This collection brings together an analysis of traditional areas of Scottish society such as finance, industry, and the business lobby, while offering an examination of newer issues reflecting the diversity and changing nature of Scotland—new entrepreneurs, changing gender relations, gay Scotland, and the Asian establishment. It brings together in over 30 essays that offer an accessible but definitive analysis of Scotland at a crucial point in its history.
