摘要

1922年至1931年间，邓迪选出了英国历史上唯一一位禁酒派议员。尽管苏格兰禁酒党成功地进入了议会，但它未能在全国其他任何地方产生影响。本文试图解释为什么共产党的成功仅限于这座城市。它考察了党的性质，以及它在两次世界大战期间影响苏格兰的更广泛的政治变革中的作用。它将探讨其政治哲学在多大程度上特别适合邓迪，以及该党的组织和魅力领袖埃德温·斯克林格尔对其成就的重要性。通过这一点，它将揭示这一时期苏格兰政治的性质，以及局部政治现象在多大程度上是环境因素或政治行为者代理的结果。

“Vote as You Pray” – The Success of the Scottish Prohibitionist Party in Dundee during the Interwar Period

ABSTRACT Between 1922 and 1931, Dundee elected Britain’s only ever Prohibitionist MP. Despite its success in entering parliament, the Scottish Prohibitionist Party failed to make an impact in any other part of the country. This paper seeks to explain why the party’s success was limited to the city. It examines the nature of the party, and its role within wider political changes affecting Scotland in the interwar period. It will explore the extent to which its political philosophy was particularly well suited to Dundee, and the importance of the party’s organisation and charismatic leader Edwin Scrymgeour to its achievements. Through this, it will shed light on both the nature of Scottish politics in this period, and the extent to which localised political phenomena are the result of environmental factors or the agency of political actors.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Regional and Local History aims to publish high-quality academic articles which address the history of regions and localities in the medieval, early-modern and modern eras. Regional and local are defined in broad terms, encouraging their examination in both urban and rural contexts, and as administrative, cultural and geographical entities. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and offer a means of interrogating the temporality of such structures. Such histories might broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus or help develop agendas for future exploration. The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history and history from below. We welcome contributions situated in these methodological frameworks but are also keen to elicit inter-disciplinary work which seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies. The journal also publishes book reviews and review articles on themes relating to regional or local history.
