About this ebook
In this book Stephen Gethins combines his knowledge from years of work in the field - from the conflict zones of the former Soviet Union to the corridors of power in Westminster and Brussels - with insights from political, cultural and academic figures who have been at the heart of foreign policy in Scotland, the UK, Europe and North America.
Gethins looks at Scotland's foreign policy to better inform the debate about our country's future and its relationships with its neighbours near and far.
