在 2014 年苏格兰独立公投的竞选活动中，社会政策问题发挥了核心作用。本文解释了苏格兰民族主义动员的本质及其与社会政策的关系，从 20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代初中期的“地方自治”运动到 2014 年的公投运动。如图所示，苏格兰必须从英国独立，以保护其更加进步的国家免受中央（英国）政府发起的社会政策紧缩的影响，这一想法早在 2014 年公投运动之前就已出现。事实上，在 20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代初到中期的权力下放进程中，也出现过类似的争论，即政治自治如何使苏格兰人能够制定更适合其社会民主偏好的社会政策。通过与 1980 年和 1995 年魁北克主权公投的比较，本文对围绕苏格兰公投的社会政策辩论提供了比较和历史的视角，同时主要关注医疗保健和养老金。
During the campaign leading to the 2014 Scottish referendum on independence, social policy issues played a central role. This article explains the nature of Scottish nationalist mobilization and its relationship with social policy, from the drive for ‘home rule’ in the 1980s and early-mid 1990s to the 2014 referendum campaign. As shown, the idea that Scotland must become independent from the United Kingdom to protect its more progressive nation from social policy retrenchment originating from the central (British) government appeared long before the 2014 referendum campaign. In fact, the march towards devolution in the 1980s and early to mid-1990s had featured a similar argument about how political autonomy could enable Scots to make social policy better suited to their social democratic preferences. Through a comparison with the 1980 and 1995 Québec referendums on sovereignty, this article offers a comparative and historical perspective on the social policy debate surrounding the Scottish referendum while focusing primarily on health care and pensions.
