Building a New Scotland: An independent Scotland's Place in the World
Building a New Scotland: An independent Scotland's Place in the World
This paper sets out the Scottish Government's proposals for an independent Scotland's place in the world.
This eleventh paper in the ‘Building a New Scotland’ series sets out the Scottish Government’s vision for an independent Scotland in the world.
This summary shows that independence will mean that Scotland takes its place in the international community; alongside 193 other United Nations member states, able to join the European Union, with the powers necessary to protect its citizens and prosper in the global economy.
Independence would also mean that Scotland gets to determine the type of state it wants to be on that world stage – one that acts based on its values and principles, promotes human rights and development, and builds partnerships with other countries and international organisations to address global challenges.
An independent Scotland would be a good global citizen, working towards peace and security in the interests of Scotland’s people.
@Bampot Sorry, but New Scotland has already been "built" and I'm living in it. #NovaScotia

@Bampot Canadian first, Nova Scotian (which would translate to New Scottish, I guess) second.
And pop over anytime!
