Scotland’s Choices

In 2014, Scotland’s citizens will cast their vote on a referendum for independence and, potentially, a second question on ‘devolution max’. If they reject both scenarios, the Calman Commission, which seeks to tie Scotland even tighter to the United Kingdom, will likely go into effect. If the Scots say ‘yes’ to independence and/or devo-max, Westminster, the United Kingdom, and the Scottish nation will enter unprecedented political waters. This volume explains the three options for statehood currently available to the Scottish people and explores the possible effect of independence or a Calman regime.
