Summary

Introduction

Abstract: the article is devoted to the analysis of the referendum in Scotland in 2014 as a peaceful way of people's self-determination of this historical part of the United Kingdom. В Великобритании отсутствие писаной конституции способствует тому, чтобы проведение референдума об отделении частей страны и обретении ими независимости через данную процедуру, можно было бы считать законным. В 2012 г., однако, Шотландии удалось добиться от Лондона подписания соглашения о проведении референдума о независимости в 2014 г., что придавало ему юридическую силу и делало его легитимным.
