  2. What’s it all about? In the cases of Scotland and Wales, historical differences have been played out in relation to the direction of state and political development during the last 30 years. Not only has this included the resistance and mediation of Thatcherite new public management reforms, but also of New Labour’s more adaptive neo-liberal versions. Viewed historically from the 1970s onwards, it is England that changed while Wales and Scotland held a steadier course, retaining the features of a Keynesian post-war settlement that fitted with their core values. Furthermore, from a wider European perspective England, despite its dominance within the UK, could be seen as the neo-liberal deviant and Scotland and Wales as more mainstream. (Spours, 2011: 132)
