Summary

On 18 September 2014, Scotland held a referendum on the question: Should Scotland be an independent country? This is a most unusual event in modern democracies and engaged the political class, civil society, and the general public to an unprecedented degree, leading to an 85 per cent turnout in the final vote. This was an occasion to debate not just the narrow constitutional issue but the future of the nation, including the economy, social welfare, defence and security, and Scotland's place in Europe and the world. 'Debating Scotland' comes from a team of researchers who observed the debates from close-up and engaged with both sides, with the media and with the public in analysing the issues, while remaining neutral on the independence question.--, Provided by publisher
