Abstract

Nakon završetka Hladnog rata etnički sukobi pojavili su se u središtu brojnih znanstvenih istraživanja. Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo Velike Britanije i Sjeverne Irske predstavlja specifičan slučaj višenacionalne države za koju se smatralo da je etničke odnose unutar države uspješno regulirala. Međutim, razvoj škotskog nacionalnog pokreta i osnivanje Škotske nacionalne stranke koja se zalaže za neovisnost pokrenulo je pitanje opstanka Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva kao cjeline. Kao odgovor na separatističke težnje, krajem 20. stoljeća započinje provođenje devolucije. Devolucija u slučaju Velike Britanije označava prijenos ovlasti s Westminsterskog parlamenta na uspostavljene nacionalne parlamente. Međutim, devolucija nije donijela željene rezultate. U Škotskoj je 18. rujna 2014. godine održan referendum o neovisnosti. Unatoč činjenici da su se Škoti opredijelili za ostanak u sastavu Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva, pitanje neovisnosti je i dalje aktualno. Stabilnost i legitimnost državnog poretka Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva su ugroženi te je potrebno pronaći odgovarajuće rješenje kojim bi se uspješno regulirali etnički odnosi u državi.

Abstract (english)

After the end of the Cold War ethnic conflicts started to emerge in the centre of numerous scientific studies. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland represented a concrete case of a multinational country with successfully regulated ethnic relations within the state. However, the development of the Scottish national movement and the founding of the Scottish National Party which is advocating the independence of Scotland, raised the issue of the survival of the United Kingdom as we know it. In response to separatist aspirations in the late 20th century, started the implementation of devolution. Devolution, in case of Great Britain, denotes the delegation of powers from the Westminster parliament to established national parliaments. Nonetheless, devolution has not brought the desired results. A referendum on Scottish independence took place on September 18th, 2014. Despite the fact that the Scots opted to remain a part of the United Kingdom, the issue of independence is still relevant. The stability and legitimacy of the state order of United Kingdom are at risk, so a more suitable solution to regulate the ethnic relations is needed.
