proposals for papers and sessions on the widest range of topics - built environment,
governance, population, social relationships, economy and culture. We invite
proposals from all periods of history and from the widest geographical range. The
invitation is extended to all who have made urban history a distinctive and innovative

conservation, policy studies, recording, archive and museum work.
Participants are invited from all over Europe and beyond.

8. "Scotland and Galicia", University of Aberdeen (Aberdeen, Scotland)
____________________________________________________________
Conference date: 17-18 November 2000
The United Kingdom and Spain are two of the world's oldest multinational states. Both have
embarked on a transition from unitary states to political devolution. The starting points
of each were rather different but they have encountered many of the same issues. Neither
has formally embraced federalism but both are seeking new formulas under the labels
'devolution' and 'estado de las autonomas'. Both face asymmetrical demands from their
minority nations and regions, but they have responded in different ways, the UK with a
highly asymmetrical programme of devolution and Spain with an attempt to generalise the
system of autonomy on a more or less uniform basis. In both cases, the challenges of
globalization and of Europe provide a new context both for the demandsof the peripheral
nations and for the central response. The conference will address the experiences of
devolution in Spain and the UK, with a particular although not exclusive focus on Scotland
and Galicia. Most of the papers will be presented by members of the universities of
Aberdeen and Santiago de Compostela.
Provisional Programme
The conference will start at 10 am on Friday 17 November and finish at 5 pm on Saturday 18
November.
