Uses manifesto analysis to measure political nationalism in ScotlandMurray Leith and Daniel P. J. Soule explore the importance of groups, concepts and events such as the SNP and devolution, unionism, the political elite, political and public discourse, inclusion and exclusion, enforced nationalism, and birth, race and citizenship to nationalist feeling in Scotland. The authors set the Modernist view of Scottish nationalism against the work of Gellner, Anderson and Billig to create their own 'mixed method' of evaluating nationalism.Key FeaturesPresents a detailed consideration of the language used within the political and nationalist arena in ScotlandCompares a variety of attitudes and opinions held within Scotland from the political elite to the massesIntroduces a new method for measuring political nationalism using manifesto analysis
