This book addresses the premise that the question of who governs Scotland has become increasingly ambiguous, thanks in part to European integration, globalisation and devolution within the UK. It argues that although the concept of multi-level governance helped illuminate regionalism with the EU, it was not an appropriate model for Scotland. This well researched and powerfully argued book, adds greatly to the debate on constitutional reform, and offers invaluable insight into the Scottish Parliament's foreign affair agenda.
'Alex Wright has written a distinctive book that addresses this thorny issue from the perspective of Scottish autonomy in relation primarily to European institutions.'

'Wright's book is a valuable and welcome addition to the growing literature on Scottish and European-level government and politics.'
