Sommario/riassunto

The Scottish National Party has played a significant role in the politics of Scotland in the last forty years. In particular it has contributed to and



shaped the impact and dynamics of devolution. This collection brings together academics, writers, commentators and analysts of Scottish politics to address the nature of the SNP: its position in Scotland, its influence on devolution, its role as a minority administration and its relationship with other institutions in Scotland, the UK and Europe.
