The UK Government is undertaking a major cross-government programme of analysis prior to the referendum on Scottish independence in 2014. The aim is to provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis of Scotland's place in the UK. This paper, the first of a series to be published in 2013 and 2014, examines the UK's constitutional set-up and the legal implications of independence. The UK Government is convinced that the current devolution offers the best for Scotland: the Scottish Parliament and Government are empowered to take decisions on a range of domestic policy areas - such as health, education, policing - while Scotland continues to benefit from decisions made for the UK as a whole - defence and security, foreign representation, economic affairs. Independence is very different to devolution. Based on independent expert opinion (published as Annex A), the paper concludes that if there were to be a vote in favour of leaving the UK, Scotland would become an entirely new state whilst the remainder of the UK would continue as before, retaining the rights and obligations of the UK as it currently stands. Any separation would have to be negotiated between both governments. Legal and practical implications of independence, both at home and abroad, are addressed. An independent Scotland would have to apply to and/or negotiate to become a member of whichever international organisations it wished to join, including the EU and NATO. Scotland would also have to work through its positions on thousands of international treaties to which the UK is currently party.

In September 2014 people in Scotland will take one of the most important decisions in the history of Scotland and the whole of the United Kingdom (UK) - whether to stay in the UK, or leave it and become a new, separate and independent state. In advance of the referendum, the UK Government will ensure through the Scotland analysis programme that the debate is properly informed by analysis, and that the facts crucial to considering Scotland's future are set out. This paper sets out the role of economic and fiscal integration in shaping Scotland's economic performance as part of the UK and describes some of the potential economic and fiscal consequences of independence. It follows the fourth paper in the Scotland analysis series, Scotland analysis: Business and microeconomic framework, which sets out how the UK's domestic market is a key part of Scotland's successful business environment

This paper is the latest in the Scotland analysis series and explores how an integrated domestic environment for research in publicly funded institutions supports the UK's, including Scotland's, excellent and thriving research base which is vital for innovation and economic success. An independent Scottish state would become responsible for deciding how much to spend on research activity and how to distribute research funding. In order to replace the 2012-13 level of Research Council expenditure in Scotland (£307 million), the government of an independent Scottish state would have to spend 0.23 per cent of 2012 GDP on research or seek additional funding from elsewhere such as overseas, businesses or charities. Businesses and research charities could, however, face additional administrative burdens created by divergences in regulatory regimes and tax jurisdictions, meaning funding projects in both the continuing UK and an independent Scottish state could become more complex. UK national institutions would operate on behalf of the continuing UK as before but would have no power or obligation to act in, or on behalf of, an independent Scottish state. In the event of independence the single strategic and highly integrated research framework would be likely to diverge as an independent Scottish state set and deliver its own research priorities. Research collaborations between the continuing UK and an independent Scottish state would be international collaborations associated with levels of risk not present in domestic collaborations. Research excellence is also supported by the ability of researchers and staff to move freely across the UK and elsewhere, thereby supporting the flow of knowledge

In September 2014 a referendum will be held in Scotland on whether to become an independent state. This publication examines independence in respect of the EU and international issues and sets out the case for retaining Scotland as part of the UK. Scotland would, on independence, become an entirely new state and would need to become formally recognised. The UK would no longer have any obligation to represent Scottish interests within international organisations and Scotland would need to apply for membership. At present Scotland benefits from and contributes to the UK's bilateral relationships and its representation in multilateral organisations, including NATO, the UN and the EU. It would not be eligible to join the United Nations Security Council as a permanent member, nor likely to have single state representation at the G7, G8 and G20. To replicate the UK's international networks and influence on the world stage would present a significant financial burden to the Scottish taxpayer. Scottish businesses also benefit from the active support of UK Trade and Investment's (UKTI's) overseas offices. In respect of the EU, the UK acts on Scotland's behalf in such areas as budget contributions, fisheries, agricultural subsidies and Structural Funds. An independent Scotland would need to become a new member of the EU and re-enter negotiations on such matters, particularly in regard of contributions and accession to funds. The publication is divided into three chapters: Chapter 1: The UK's international policy; Chapter 2: The UK's international networks and influence; Chapter 3: The European Union.

The UK Government is undertaking a major cross-government programme of analysis prior to the referendum on Scottish independence in 2014. The aim is to provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis of Scotland's place in the UK. This paper examines how Scotland might arrange its currency and wider macroeconomic framework. It reviews the current UK arrangements and examines the options for change. In the event of a vote for independence Scotland would have to establish its own institutional framework, and the current system of risk-sharing would end. An independent Scottish state would have four main currency options: continue to use sterling with a formal agreement with the continuing UK (a sterling currency union); use sterling unilaterally with no formal agreement ('sterlingisation'); join the euro; or introduce a new Scottish currency. This paper examines all these options and concludes that all of them would be less likely to be economically suitable for both Scotland and the rest of the UK.

In September 2014 Scotland will hold a referendum on independence. This is the tenth paper in the Scotland analysis series and looks at the implications for borders and citizenship. It sets out how the current UK framework benefits the whole of the UK, including Scotland, explores the challenges which an independent Scottish state would face in assuming control of its borders, and considers the difficult choices that the people in Scotland would have to face on issues such as citizenship and nationality. The publication is divided into four chapters: Chapter 1: Why borders matter; Chapter 2: The movement of people; Chapter 3: Movement of goods; Chapter 4: Citizenship and passports.

This paper analyses the UK's approach to identifying and managing threats to the national security of the UK, and the implications for these arrangements of a vote for independence. It complements analysis of the UK's approach to defence explored elsewhere in the Scotland analysis series. It is clearly in the UK's interests to be surrounded by secure and resilient neighbouring countries, including - in the event of a yes vote - an independent Scottish state. While the UK endeavours to work with other countries and international organisations to improve security and fight organised crime for everyone's mutual benefit there is something qualitatively different about being influential and intimately connected with the rest of the UK by being a part of it. Issues of national security are of the utmost sensitivity, linked to a country's foreign, security and defence policy posture, and any decisions are closely related to matters of sovereignty and democratic accountability. For this reason, a security union is closely connected to the existence of a political union. The creation of an independent Scottish state would see an end to the current arrangements for ensuring Scotland's security, as Scotland, including Police Scotland, would no longer be part of the UK's national security infrastructure and capabilities. In practical terms this means that the present level of strategic and operational communication and co-ordination that occurs everyday across the UK, with Scotland playing a key role within it - whether concerned with counter-terrorism, fighting serious and organised crime or protecting against cyber threats - would end

This paper is the fourth in the Scotland analysis series. It discusses the strong economic integration between Scotland and the rest of the UK, and investigates the consequences of Scottish independence for the UK business environment. It explains the benefits of the current UK framework, which minimises the costs and risks that Scotland would otherwise be exposed to. The integration within the UK's domestic market brings benefits to all. The size and scale of the market brings opportunities to trade, move jobs, collaborate to develop new and future technologies, travel and communicate efficiently and benefit from economies of scale. Effective common regulations and institutions, a unified labour market, a shared knowledge base and integrated infrastructures are central to the success of this unified domestic market. However much an independent Scottish state sought to stay aligned with regulations and institutions in the continuing UK, a single market withn two separate states is not the same as a fully integrated domestic market. Divergence and fragmentation would likely lead to short-term and long-term costs, and prolonged uncertainties, for businesses and consumers.
