The Rise and Decline of the Scottish Radical Tradition from the 1880s to the 1930s

该项目调查了19世纪80年代末至20世纪20年代中期苏格兰出现的一种独特的政治激进主义品牌，并认为它在20世纪30年代初急剧下降。这涉及审查政治激进主义的影响，以解释苏格兰工人在大战之前、期间和之后日益增长的战斗性，独立工党在1918年后成为苏格兰主要的社会主义政党，俄国革命对苏格兰工人阶级和苏格兰政治的影响，并试图解释为什么苏格兰激进分子在工会和劳工运动的领导层以及在苏格兰激进左翼劳工和革命政治的知识先锋中如此突出，该项目的成果将是一本由爱丁堡大学出版社（EUP）在2007年冬季某个时候出版的书。

The project investigated the emergence of a distinctive brand of political radicalism in Scotland, between the late 1880s and mid 1920s and considered it precipitous decline by the early 1930s. This involved an examination of the impact of political radicalism as an explanation for the growing militancy of Scottish workers before, during and after the Great War, the emergence of the Independence labour Party as the main socialist party in Scotland after 1918, the impact of the Russian Revolution on the Scottish working class and politics in Scotland, and sought to explain why Scottish radicals were so prominent in the leadership of the trade union and labour movement and in the intellectual vanguard of radical-left labour and revolutionary politics in Scotland, Britain and the Empire.The result of the project will be a book produced and published by Edinburgh University Press (EUP) sometime in the winter of 2007.
