  • Scots Abroad, Nationalism at Home: Kailyard and Kilt As Gatekeepers? 1885 – 1979
    Scots Abroad, Nationalism at Home: Kailyard and Kilt as Gatekeepers? 1885 – 1979 Graham David Robson University of Stirling PhD October 2015 1 The emigration of the Scots from the 18th to the 20th century has produced a diaspora. The thesis outlines how many diasporas are involved in the nationalist projects of their homeland. However, over the chronology of this study and beyond, whilst there were active movements to amend or end the Union of 1707, it has been found that the Scots were not. The thesis then proposes some explanations for this. Chapters one and two introduce methods, research material and context; they describe the Union, the emigrations and diasporas. The study uses for comparison purposes the Irish and Norwegian diasporas. Lines of enquiry such as nationalism, the use of soft power and gatekeeping behaviour are presented, with a discussion of Scottish nationalism. The study examines the approach to involving the diaspora of five groups; both SHRAs, the International Scots Home Rule League, the National Convention and the NPS/SNP. The response of Scottish MPs in the diaspora in England to the many attempts to legislate for home rule is also examined. The approach to the diaspora was found to be badly executed and targeted. Few visits were made, and only to the US and Canada. Communication was unfocussed and spasmodic. The Scottish associational clubs were frequently used as a conduit. A small part of the whole diaspora, these acted as gatekeepers, selectively mobilising for themselves as an elite which had no need of nationalism as they could succeed without it.

  • Examining the Relationship Between the Ulster Defence Association and the British Government
    University of Utrecht, Faculty of Humanities Does the end justify the means? Examining the relationship between the Ulster Defence Association and the British Government Name: Iris Juffermans Student number: 5923115 Thesis Supervisor: Jacco Pekelder Second Reader: Geraldien von Frijtag Drabbe Künzel Date: 16 March 2018 Abstract: Since the late 1980s, claims were made about possible collusion between Loyalist paramilitaries and the Security Forces in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. The largest loyalist paramilitary organization was the Ulster Defence Organization (UDA). A remarkable fact is that the British Government waited to proscribe the UDA as a terrorist organization until 1992. Must this be seen as a corroboration of the claims of collusion? Did the British Government go too far in the Northern Ireland conflict, losing sight of their democratic principles? What where their motives for possibly treating the UDA differently as the IRA? In this thesis, answers will be sought to these questions. Several types of documents will be analysed to examine the relationship between the UDA and the British Government. These documents will include literature about the UDA and the Troubles, parliamentary debates between the outset of the Troubles and the moment of proscription of the UDA in 1992 and unclassified British policy documents from the British National Archives that are made available about proscription of the UDA. 2 Index: Introduction p. 5 Chapter 1: Theoretical Framework 1.1 What is a “terrorist group”? p. 11 1.2.
