A Wealthier, Fairer Scotland: The Political Economy of Constitutional Change Hardcover - 2017

by Michael Keating (Editor)


From the publisher

Michael Keating argues that what matters to Scotland is not independence but the powers and taxes that the Scottish Parliament and Government control, and how they use them - a vital question after the referendum as new powers are devolved from Westminster. There is popular support for a social and economic settlement on Nordic lines, combining economic performance with social justice, but can Scotland achieve this notoriously difficult ideal? This is the first study to delve into these issues in detail. It will be of interest to those concerned with the future of Scotland and in what a non-sovereign nation or region can do in a complex and interdependent world.

From the rear cover

How can Scotland use its new and existing powers to create a brighter economic and social future? The ambition of the Scottish Government is to create a wealthier and fairer nation. Following the devolution acts of 1998, 2012 and 2016, it has extensive powers and resources to fulfil its ambition. This interdisciplinary collection of essays asks how this can be achieved, given the range of powers available, economic constraints, institutions and public support. Looking at economic policy, taxation and welfare, this provides a realistic analysis of the opportunities and constraints facing a small, devolved nation. After years of debate on what powers Scotland should have, this book examines how they might be used to shape the country's future. Michael Keating is Professor of Politics at the University of Aberdeen, part-time Professor at the University of Edinburgh and Director of the Centre on Constitutional Change.
