Abstract

This blog entry 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. However, recent theoretical work in the field of nationalism and national identity has suggested that a heightened sense of national identity is time limited.
