Scotland, the UK and Brexit: A guide to the future

Article

Edited by Gerry Hassan, leading Scottish commentator, and Russell Gunson, Director of IPPR Scotland, Scotland, the UK and Brexit: A guide to the future is a collection of essays aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive guide to Brexit and the consequences that flow from Brexit for Scotland, while also examining UK and international implications.

Contributions include a wide range of leading political specialists, journalists and academics. This book analyses the terrain, the major issues and possible developments, the context in which this takes place and how some of the major actors including the Scottish and UK governments, and the EU itself, may act.

This includes three essays by leading current or former politicians available to read online:

  • Brexit, the SNP and independence, Marco G. Biagi
  • Scotland, Britain, Europe: where now? A conservative perspective, Adam Tomkins
  • A better post-Brexit path for Scotland, Douglas Alexander

To coincide with the launch of IPPR’s new website, a further three essays from the collection will be published as long-read blogs in the coming weeks.

The book is published by leading independent publishers Luath Press. To purchase a copy of the full collection of essays, visit Luath Press Limited.
