Abstract

The article discusses the Scotland independence referendum's impact on Western liberal democracy as of 2014. Topics covered include the Scots' engagement with cultural identity and political representation issues, and the decisive win of the No to independence faction. Also mentioned are Great Britain's need to acknowledge the oligarchy tendency of both liberalism and representative democracy, and to renew traditions of constitutionalism and "mixed government" to best revive democracy.
