The authors set out a vision of the new Scotland in the new Britain. They first outline how the new Scottish Parliament addresses an old grievance – by safeguarding and making accountable Scotland’s civic institutions – before explaining how the new constitutional settlement equips Scotland to meet the new challenges of the global economy. Taking issue with the identity politics of Nationalism, they present the case for a new Britain not based on deference and uniformity but united by shared values and common purpose – a new Britain defined as a multi-ethnic, multicultural, multinational state.
