In The Government of Scotland 1560-1625 Goodare shows how Scotland
was governed during the transition from Europe's decentralized
medieval realms to modern sovereign states. The expanding
institutions of government - crown, parliament, privy council,
local courts - are detailed, but the book is structured around an
analysis of governmental processes. A new framework is offered for
understanding the concept of 'centre and localities':
centralization happened in the localities.
Various interest groups participated in government and influenced
its decisions. The nobility, in particular, exercised influence at
every level. There was also English influence, both before and
after the union of crowns in 1603. It is argued that the crown's
continuing involvement after 1603 shows the common idea of
'absentee monarchy' to be misconceived. Goodare also pays
particular attention to the harsh impact of government in the
Highlands - where the chiefs were not full members of 'Scottish'
political society - and on the common people - who were also
excluded from normal political participation.
