Abstract

In the fourth of our series of articles looking ahead to the Scottish independence referendum, Arno van der Zwet discusses the question of whether the ‘Yes’ camp can make gains amongst so-called ‘closet nationalists’ by shifting the debate for independence from instrumental to sentimental reasons.
