摘要

北海石油的发现带来了质的分歧,至少带来了经济上可行的苏格兰独立的前景,因为它使“苏格兰经济”成为宪法上的合法争论点。反过来,这也使先进、发达、后帝国资本主义地区经济中少数民族主义的性质出现了问题。这项研究评估了经济因素——尤其是石油——如何对掌权的前景产生实质性影响,从而评估了将集体机构想象为国家(即苏格兰)项目的可能性。石油帮助“新左派”从同化主义和现代化项目转变为“国家”项目,将地区意识同化为“国家性”项目,同时也激励了彻头彻尾的民族主义者根据民族主义早期阶段来定义自己的项目。因此,这项研究有助于重新集中对苏格兰的研究,较少强调地方层面和身份,而不是国家行为者在解开与更广泛的地缘政治和地缘经济力量的关系中的作用。这种说法不仅仅是全球力量形成了使民族主义行动成为可能的质量鸿沟;但这些都是北海发现后行动者有意识的考虑。

Of Oil and Agency: Scotland and the Material Conditions of National Imagining

North Sea oil discoveries introduced a qualitative divide that gave rise to at least the prospect of an economically viable Scottish independence, insofar as it made the “Scottish economy” a legitimate point of contestation on constitutional lines. In turn, this problematised the nature of minority nationalism in advanced, developed, post-imperial capitalist regional economies. The research assesses how economic factors – most notably oil – materially affected the prospects of asserting power, and thus the possibilities for imagining collective agency as a national (i.e. Scottish) project. Oil helped shift “New Left” thinking away from assimilationist and modernising projects of assimilating regional consciousness into “national” projects, while also inspiring outright nationalists to define their own project in relation to the earlier phases of nationalism. The study thus contributes to recentring the study of Scotland, with a smaller emphasis on the local dimension and identities, as against the role of national actors in untangling relationships with wider geopolitical and geo-economic forces. The claim is not simply that global forces formed the qualitative divide that made nationalist action possible; but also that these were conscious considerations of actors in the aftermath of North Sea discoveries.
