State of the Union
- First survey of the history of the Union by political scientists
- Timely publication - 2007 will mark the tercentenary of the Union
This is the first survey of Unionism, the ideology of most of the rulers of the United Kingdom for the last 300 years. Because it was taken so much for granted, it has never been properly studied. Now that we stand in the twilight of Unionism, it is possible to see it as it casts its long shadow over British and imperial history since 1707.
