This programme of research will examine the options for Scottish constitutional change, including independence, and their implications for the future of the UK and Scotland. It will provide evidence to help inform voter understanding of the key issues ahead of the independence referendum to be held in September 2014, and of the significance and consequences of the referendum result. In the longer term, it will develop a research centre involving academics from political science, economics and law to strengthen the capacity for the generation of new knowledge on the social, economic and political challenges associated with constitutional change. The proposal builds upon existing research, including some investments already supported by the ESRC Future of the UK and Scotland. It includes two projects within each of the four themes of the programme - relations beyond Scotland, the economy, governance, and future Scotland. Research on citizen and elite behaviour cuts across each of these themes. The projects all address consequences of rescaling, that is, the migration of economic, social and political systems to new levels, which are connected in complex ways. Whatever the outcome of the referendum, Scotland's constitutional future will develop within a series of overarching 'unions' within the British Isles, the European Union and beyond. These will place some constraints on what a Scottish - and UK - government could do under all constitutional scenarios.The research employs legal analysis, political and policy analysis, economic modeling and behavioural analysis to explore the implications of different constitutional options. Each project includes collaboration between scholars from different disciplines. There are surveys of citizena and business leaders survey to ascertain responses to situations of partial knowledge, risk and uncertainty, and their ranking of preferences. The use of comparison also runs through the projects. Analysis of the future of Scotland in the UK provides case study of the broader transformations of the state in modern times. The inter-related nature of the projects is a key feature of the proposal, with preliminary findings from projects feeding into the development of the research in others, and so on. Findings from the will be used to inform understanding among the public, policy-makers and the media, through a range of user-focused activities, as well as to generate new knowledge to advance understanding of the dynamics of constitutional change.

该研究项目将研究苏格兰宪法改革的选择，包括独立，以及它们对英国和苏格兰未来的影响。它将提供证据，帮助选民了解将于2014年9月举行的独立公投之前的关键问题，以及公投结果的意义和后果。从长远来看，它将发展一个涉及政治学、经济学和法学学者的研究中心，以加强就与宪法变革有关的社会、经济和政治挑战产生新知识的能力。该提案建立在现有研究的基础上，包括英国和苏格兰ESRC未来已经支持的一些投资。它包括该计划四个主题中的两个项目-苏格兰以外的关系，经济，治理和未来的苏格兰。对公民和精英行为的研究跨越了这些主题。这些项目都涉及重新调整规模的后果，即经济、社会和政治制度向以复杂方式联系在一起的新水平迁移。无论公投结果如何，苏格兰宪法的未来将在不列颠群岛、欧盟和其他地区的一系列总体“联盟”中发展。这将对苏格兰——以及英国——政府在所有宪法情境下所能做的事情施加一些限制。该研究采用法律分析、政治和政策分析、经济模型和行为分析来探讨不同宪法选择的影响。每个项目包括来自不同学科的学者之间的合作。有对公民和商业领袖的调查，以确定对部分知识、风险和不确定性情况的反应，以及他们的偏好排名。比较的使用也贯穿了整个项目。对苏格兰在英国的未来的分析，为国家在现代更广泛的转变提供了案例研究。项目的相互关联性质是提案的一个关键特征，项目的初步研究结果将为其他项目的研究发展提供支持，等等。调查结果将通过一系列以用户为中心的活动，为公众、决策者和媒体之间的理解提供信息，并产生新的知识，以促进对宪法变革动态的理解。
