From British Labourism to Scottish Nationalism: Jim Sillars's Journey
Like Nicola Sturgeon, Jim Sillars was born and brought up in Ayrshire. ‘If I am a nationalist of any kind’, he says, ‘it is an Ayrshire one’ (p. 126). Sturgeon was born in 1970 in the new town of Irvine, a typical product of the town planning ambitions of the post-war years, complete with modernist housing developments, roundabouts galore, and what was purportedly Europe’s largest leisure centre, the Magnum. Sturgeon is a classic product of the opportunities that the British welfare state still offered to working class families in the late twentieth century. She grew up in a council house, attended the local comprehensive school, and studied law at Glasgow University. Even the Magnum Leisure Centre had been built by the Irvine Development Corporation, in effect a local arm of the British state.
期刊介绍:
Scottish Affairs, founded in 1992, is the leading forum for debate on Scottish current affairs. Its predecessor was Scottish Government Yearbooks, published by the University of Edinburgh''s ''Unit for the Study of Government in Scotland'' between 1976 and 1992. The movement towards the setting up the Scottish Parliament in the 1990s, and then the debate in and around the Parliament since 1999, brought the need for a new analysis of Scottish politics, policy and society. Scottish Affairs provides that opportunity. Fully peer-reviewed, it publishes articles on matters of concern to people who are interested in the development of Scotland, often setting current affairs in an international or historical context, and in a context of debates about culture and identity. This includes articles about similarly placed small nations and regions throughout Europe and beyond. The articles are authoritative and rigorous without being technical and pedantic. No subject area is excluded, but all articles pay attention to the social and political context of their topics. Thus Scottish Affairs takes up a position between informed journalism and academic analysis, and provides a forum for dialogue between the two. The readers and contributors include journalists, politicians, civil servants, business people, academics, and people in general who take an informed interest in current affairs.
