The Scottish Referendum and its aftermath, viewed from national and international perspectives. After the Referendum on whether Scotland should become an independent country in September 2014 ¬‒ and following a momentous mobilisation of voters by both the Yes and No campaigns ‒ Scotland's political environment has been fundamentally energised. But how was the Referendum campaign reported and structured in the media in Scotland, the wider United Kingdom, and in other parts of the world, and when might 'representation' have turned into 'construction'? In this book scholars, commentators and journalists from Britain, Europe, Canada and Australia examine how the media across the world presented the debate itself and the shifting nature of Scottish ‒ and British ‒ identity which that debate revealed. Several of the contributors also explore how the emphases and interpretations placed on the Scottish debate by their national media illuminate attitudes to their own nationalism and separatism questions. The consequences of the No majority vote are traced in the media through until the SNP landslide in the UK general election of 2015. The issues which have subsequently come to the fore will be relevant for years to come. Neil Blain is Professor Emeritus of Communications at the University of Stirling. His publications include Media, Monarchy and Power (with Hugh O'Donnell), Sport, Media, Culture: Local and Global Dimensions (with Alina Bernstein) and The Media in Scotland (co-edited with David Hutchison). Gerry Hassan is an author and commentator whose books include Caledonian Dreaming, Independence of the Scottish Mind and Spirit of Independence. David Hutchison is Honorary Professor of Media Policy at Glasgow Caledonian University. Among his publications are Media Policy and The Modern Scottish Theatre. From 2010-2014 he was chair of Regional Screen Scotland.
