The traditional interpretations focus on ethnic identity,economic development,and constitutional reform.This paper sets focus on the level that has been overlooked by traditional interpretations – the integration of the Scottish economy by the EU market and the community’s ability to help Scotland gain governance.When Scotland has the willingness to “independence in the EU” and the ability to mobilize its people to support “independence in the EU”,it is not surprising that the rapid rise of the independence movement and even the outbreak of the independent referendum. |
