Abstract:
In the context of devolution, Scotland has shaped a distinct national identity through
differentiated social welfare policies. This paper examines Scotland’s welfare policies in
education, healthcare, and social services, employing literature analysis and comparative
research methods to explore the two-way relationship between welfare policies and identity
construction. The study aims to provide a comparative case for identity research in other regions
of the UK.
