Following the devolution acts of 1998, 2012 and 2016, it has extensive powers and resources to fulfill its ambition. This interdisciplinary collection of essays asks how it can be achieved, given the range of powers available, economic constraints, institutions and public support. Looking at economic policy, taxation and welfare, it 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. 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Services & Welfare$2bisacsh 607 $aScotland$xEconomic conditions 607 $aScotland$xSocial conditions 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Services & Welfare. 676 $a320.9411 700 $aKeating$b Michael, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0265705 702 $aKeating$b Michael$f1950- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792840003321 996 $aA wealthier, fairer Scotland$93837828 997 $aUNINA
