Authors : Hocini Djamila .

Abstract

To date, researches are made on the establishment of the Scottish Parliament in 1999. This development in the Scottish nationalist movement had its roots in the post-Second World War especially with the flourish on the SNP in the 1960s. This study seeks to show the SNP’s important role in the development of the Scottish nationalist movement in the 1960s.The efforts made by the SNP were significant to push the Westminster governments to respond to the rise of the SNP, on the one hand, and to put devolution in their agendas, on the other hand. The Party’s continuous struggle for independence, along with the great support from Scots, helped the movement to reach its goals.Thus, the SNP and the Scottish Nationalist Movement came to be two sides of the same coin.
