Britain rebooted : why federalism would be good for the nations and regions of the UK
Torrance, David2015
Books, Manuscripts
In the run up to the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence there was a plethora of tracts, articles and books arguing for and against, but there remains a gap in the literature on federalism for the UK as a whole. It is an old, usually Liberal, dream, but one still worth fighting for. It is often assumed that federalism is somehow 'alien' to the Scottish and British constitutional tradition, but in this short book David Torrance argues that not only has the UK already become a quasi-federal state but that formal federation is the best way of squaring the competing demands of nationalists and unionists.
