Zusammenfassung:Examines immigration as a central strategy of Scottish nation buildingPresents Scotland as a key test case for the marriage of nationalist sentiments and cosmopolitan identitiesAddresses ongoing public debates about minority integration and multiculturalism in Western democracies and the potential power of local or national political elites to steer rhetoricEngages with primary and secondary sources of data (ex. survey data, newspaper coverage) and employs varied methodological tools to achieve insight into the nature of public discourse on immigrationUtilises comparative data to support or reject claims of Scottish exceptionalismUses case studies from specific Scottish immigration and integration policiesFeatures unique qualitative data from a number of interviews with Scottish migration policy stakeholders in 2016 and 2019At a time when many European nationalist movements are attempting to preserve their culture by rejecting immigration and diversification, openness to immigration and diversity is a central political strategy for Scottish nation building, making Scotland a key case study for how nationalist sentiments and cosmopolitan identities can join together. This book discusses whether the pro-immigration strategies implemented by the Scottish political leadership could be employed elsewhere, addressing ongoing public debates about minority integration and multiculturalism in Western democracies, and the potential power of local or national political elites to steer rhetoric against anti-immigrant forces.
