2014年9月的公投是苏格兰历史上的里程碑。经过307年的联盟与英格兰和15年的经验与权力下放，苏格兰民族主义是触手可及的最终目标。独立将是双方同意的，苏格兰和英国其他地区将保留多种联系。欧盟层面在这场辩论中显得尤为突出，并与英国自己对其成员资格的审查纠缠在一起。苏格兰的公投是民主世界中其他“无国籍国家”追求独立的更广泛趋势的一部分。即使民意调查显示选民可能会拒绝分离，苏格兰的经验也为更广泛的世界提供了重要的教训。
The September 2014 referendum is a milestone in Scotland’s history. After 307 years of union with England and a 15-year experience with devolution, Scottish nationalism is within reach of its ultimate goal. Independence would be consensual and Scotland and the rest of the UK would retain multiple links. The EU dimension looms large in the debate and is entangled with the UK’s own review of its membership. Scotland’s referendum is part of a wider trend seeing other ‘stateless nations’ in the democratic world pursuing independence. Even if opinion polls indicate voters will likely reject secession, Scotland’s experience holds important lessons for the wider world.
