- This book represents a sustained period of work over several years. It is complex and based on a large body of information. First, its complexity relates to the objects of study: (1) a Scottish Government operating before and after the Scottish independence referendum (2014), and multiple UK government departments; and (2) a cross-cutting policy aim (‘prevention’) with no obvious government ‘home’. As such, it took an unusually long time to secure comprehensive access to conduct original research via semi-structured interviews. Second, the book’s theoretical approach is multi-faceted, consisting of several pieces of work published separately to establish ‘proof of concept’.
