Synopsis
This highly readable book is a unique, ethnographic study of devolution and Scottish politics as well as Party political activism more generally. It explores how Conservative Party activists who had opposed devolution and the movement for a Scottish Parliament during the 1990s attempted to mobilise politically following their annihilation at the 1997 General Election. It draws on fieldwork conducted in Dumfries and Galloway - a former stronghold for the Scottish Tories - to describe how senior Conservatives worked from the assumption that they had endured their own 'crisis' in representation. The material consequences of this crisis included losses of financial and other resources, legitimacy and local knowledge for the Scottish Conservatives. This book ethnographically describes the processes, practices and relationships that Tory Party activists sought to enact during the 2003 Scottish and local Government elections. Its central argument is that, having asserted that the difficulties they faced constituted problems of knowledge, Conservative activists cast to the geographical and institutional margins of Scotland became 'banal' activists. Believing themselves to be lacking in the data and information necessary for successful mobilisation during Parliamentary elections, local Tory Party strategists attempted to address their knowledge 'crisis' by burying themselves in paperwork and petty bureaucracy. Such practices have often escaped scholarly attention because they appear everyday and mundane and are therefore less noticeable., This highly readable book is a unique, ethnographic study of devolution and Scottish politics as well as Party political activism more generally.

- 0***0 (10)- Opinie wystawione przez kupującego.Ostatnie 6 miesięcyZakup potwierdzonySeller listed one item and sent a different less desirable item. When brought to their attention that the model number listed is very different from the item I received, they didn’t reply. Only after multiple follow ups did they rudely reply but with no explanation or acknowledgment of the issue. Such a scammy seller, it’s just not worth the risk buy from someone else
