Reviews

“The book is well-written and concise. … The text is an interesting and informative read. The book could easily serve as a helpful point of entry for those new to the field. For those who are more familiar with politics on the island of Ireland, Walker’s way of connecting Scotland to events and people in neighbouring Northern Ireland offers a unique point of view that could be a fruitful departure point for future research projects.” (Erica Frazier, Irish Political Studies, January, 2018)
