1 SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT: POLITIC 3016/POLITIC 4022 View Online This course introduces the governing process in Scotland in a comparative perspective, looking at how Scottish political institutions, particularly since devolution, compare to their counterparts elsewhere. The course will examine how Scotland differs from the Westminster model of democracy, questioning how much Scotland s political system now resembles what Arend Lijphart calls the consensus model of democracy. We will explore the Scottish Parliament, Scotland s four different electoral systems, its party system, and its political parties, as well as the policy-making process and what is called multilevel governance how Scottish governance interacts with that of the United Kingdom and the European Union. 1.
