Supranational Union and New Medievalism: Forging a New Scottish State

In this detailed study, Lance Kennedy delves into the prospect of New Medievalism and its potential for adjusting power relationships between regions, nations and the EU, and whether this might allow for the rebirth of pre-Westphalian systems of European organization. As a case study, Kennedy explores the history of Scottish politics, Scotland's complex relationship with the United Kingdom and the EU, and the rise of the Scottish National Party in order to determine the extent to which the New Medieval paradigm might express the future of supranational politics in Europe.
