The global pandemic has highlighted inequalities that are largely the result of historical legacies, industrial exploitation and continued injustice. In this context what does it mean for Scotland to be a good global citizen? What can a small country like Scotland do to lead by example, or to learn from others? What does being a good global citizen mean in a world where the notion of measuring wellbeing by GDP is past its sell by date? What can Scotland do to make a difference in a world where to be anti-racist and promote shifts in power might mean leaving traditional ‘aid’ behind and rethinking global power relations. What might a new global solidarity strategy look like? What are the Scottish government’s current plans and how do they fit?
