The Government of Scotland by Michael Keating
Second edition of this comprehensive account of the policy process in contemporary Scotland.
Second editions are often first editions plus some cosmetic changes and a few updatesMichael Keating's second edition of The Government of Scotland is much more than this. Of course it brings things up to date, including a nuanced analysis of the impact an SNP Government has had on politics and policy in Scotland. But it also develops much more strongly the theme of how politics and policy have become re-scaled within the state. Scotland appears here as an especially interesting case study of the territorialisation of 'policy community' and the embedding of a distinctive policy style. This is one of the best books on devolution so far. -- Charlie Jeffery, Head of School of Social and Political Science, Edinburgh University Second editions are often first editions plus some cosmetic changes and a few updates.
