Abstract
First paragraph: The Scottish government was founded with a vision of social justice underpinning its aims and methods. Donald Dewar, one of its architects and the first Labour party first minister in Scotland, claimed that the Scottish parliament was ¡°committed to promoting social justice and equality of opportunity for everyone in Scotland¡±. His vision was echoed by the Scottish national party¡¯s (SNP) first minister in 2012 when launching the campaign for independence in the 2014 referendum, that ¡°Scotland could be a beacon for progressive opinion, addressing policy challenges which reflect the universal values of fairness¡±. One of the first strategy papers published in 1999 outlined a vision of cooperative policymaking to address social justice and poverty.
