This chapter examines strategies of territorial accommodation and competition in the United Kingdom, with a particular focus on Scotland in the UK. A devolved Scottish Parliament was established in 1999 to give greater political and institutional recognition to Scotland's status as a nation within the United Kingdom. This reflected an accommodation strategy that was prevalent during the first 15 years of devolution. That accommodation found its ultimate expression in the independence referendum of 2014, and the subsequent process to strengthen the powers of the Scottish Parliament. Following the Brexit referendum in 2016, more competitive strategies emerged. These have partially eroded the authority of the Scottish Parliament (and the other devolved institutions), and were reflected in the political and legal obstacles that have blocked the path to a new independence referendum. The Labour Government, which entered office in July 2024, vowed to ‘protect and respect devolution and reset relations between governments’ (Labour Party 2024). The chapter concludes by suggesting that a meaningful and enduring reset of the relationships between the UK’s constituent territories may require more than warm words and goodwill. A return to an accommodative approach to territorial management may also require revisiting some of the legislative and intergovernmental barriers that emerged against the backdrop of Brexit.
