Introduction. An important part of the work completed in academia is sharing our scholarship with others. Such communication takes place when we present at scholarly conferences, publish in peer-reviewed journals, and publish in books. This OWL resource addresses the steps in writing for a variety of academic proposals.his page is brought to you by the OWL at Purdue (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/).

How did Scotland gain independence from the British Empire? The British Empire is all but gone, with the last major overseas territory, Hong Kong, becoming a special administrative region of China in 1997. Scotland was an independent câ¦ountry until 1707, when the Union with England Act was passed.
Sometimes, a state wishing to achieve independence from a dominating power will issue a declaration of independence; the earliest surviving example is Scotland 's Declaration of Arbroath in 1320, with the most recent example being Azawad 's declaration of independence in 2012.hile some revolutions seek and achieve national independence, others aim only to redistribute power â with or without an element of emancipation, such as in democratization â within a state, which as such may remain unaltered. Nation-states have been granted independence without any revolutionary acts.
