Christopher Harvie analyses the pressures and influences that over the last hundred years have eroded to the point of destruction Scotland's position as a world industrial power.

An indictment of the architect of New Labour, Gordon Brown. It shows how Brown came to preside over a bankrupt country on the brink of economic and political breakdown. Taking us on a tour of Britain, it explores the ever-widening disparity between rich and poor, and how manufacturing was replaced by 'retail, entertainment and recreation'.

An illustrated and highly entertaining history of the road to the establishment of Scotland's new parliament.

A study of the political theme in British literature. This book argues that these works represent an important element of the conventions on which the British "unwritten constitution" has depended since parliament took on a representative function over 150 years ago.

In this study, Harvie alters the ways in which we have traditionally surveyed the European past by setting the positive and negative aspects of the present European situation in their historical context.
