Does the EU Promote More Autonomy in Post-Devolution Scotland?

More about the book

The paper explores Scotland's regional identity and its autonomy movement, particularly following the establishment of its own government in 1999. With the Scottish National Party (SNP) advocating for full independence within the European Union, the issue of independence has gained prominence. A referendum is set for 2014, yet public support remains limited, with only a third of the population favoring independence after 300 years of union with the UK. The analysis highlights the complexities of Scotland's political landscape and the challenges faced in pursuing independence.
