The Scottish Independence Referendum And The Principles Of Democratic Secession, Benjamin Levites Jan 2015

The Scottish Independence Referendum And The Principles Of Democratic Secession, Benjamin Levites

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

On September 18, 2014, Scottish voters decided whether to sever the 307 years of unity between Scotland and the United Kingdom in an independence referendum. While the voters ultimately rejected independence, the process by which the Scots accomplished this historic exercise will inform further democratic secession movements.

This Note examines the significant implications of Scotland’s independence referendum by assessing the history of independence referendums and the present scope of relevant international law.

In turn, the Scottish independence referendum, in the context of evolving …

The Recognition Of Russia, Edwin D. Dickinson Dec 1931

The Recognition Of Russia, Edwin D. Dickinson

Michigan Law Review

Revolution in Russia culminated, on March 15, 1917, in the abdication of the Romanoffs and the establishment of the Provisional Government.
