«What a parcel of rogues in a nation’s database»
The Scottish ID Database and Britain’s Asymmetric Constitution
The challenges of global ICT to national legal regimes are well known. Less so are issues caused by sub-state divisions. As recent years have seen a resurgence of regionalism that saw increased autonomy given to regional governments, this question merits closer scrutiny. This paper uses the proposed national ID database for Scotland to explore these issues. We will see the «long shadow» that history casts over even the most current technological developments and trace back design choices in e-governance from the Scottish independence referendum of 2014 back to the 17th century. Also, much of it will turn out to be the German’s fault.
