Emerald - - 1981
In his explication of nationalist activity in Scotland since 1707, Tony Dickson,
although falling into the realms of economic expressivism, must be commended for
raising a number of important issues which have until recently been elusive, or,
at least, never considered together. It is the inter‐relation of these issues
which, for the first time, allows us to begin to develop a specific theory of
S...

in groups and have always worked in association with one another, and social
pressures on the individual to conform happen to be irresistible. The nail that
sticks...

Through an investigation of historical and contemporary writings on the subject

lowest rates o...
