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 analyzing the issues, while remaining neutral on the
independence question. The book examines the main issues at stake,
how they were presented, and how they evolved over the course of
the campaign. The editors and contributing authors explore the ways
both independence and union were framed, the economic issues, the
currency, welfare, defence and security, the European Union, and
how the example of small independent states was used. The volume
concludes with an analysis of voter responses, based upon original
survey research, which demonstrates how perceptions of risk and
uncertainty on the main issues played a key role in the outcome.
