AB The twenty-first century is marked by globalization and the rise of pro-independence movements all over the world. The Scottish Independence movement is situated in this context, and it is a clear example of how the interaction of politics and economics influences a nation’s desire for self-determination. This study examines the evolution of the independence movement in Scotland from the years before the 2014 referendum and the impact of the 2016 Brexit referendum outcome for this country until the present day. Given that the UK's decision to leave the European Union does not represent the will of Scotland's electorate, support for independence was expected to grow. However, the dynamic of Scottish independence is not linear and is influenced by different aspects. In this process, analysing the role of the Scottish National Party (SNP) is a central aspect. It has successfully mobilised a large part of the Scottish population through the promotion and dissemination of their independence aspirations. Moreover, this project examines the role of the main political forces in the United Kingdom such as the Conservative Party and the Labour Party. Their persuasive strategies have altered the public perceptions demonstrating that the public opinion in the Scottish political sphere is volatile and dynamic.
