  • Dominion Status*
    DOMINION STATUS* ]. H. MORGAN N November 18th, 1926, a Report by a Committee of the O Imperial Conference on 4'Inter-Imperial relations"-! would ask you to note the title, for it is important in the light of subse­ quent controversy-was signed by Lord Balfour, and was subse­ quently adopted by the Imperial Conference. It contained, among many other things, the following sentence which Lord Balfour thought so important, as indeed it was, that he emphasized it with italics: The group of self-governing communities composed of Great Britain and the Dominions, their position and mutual relation, may be readily defined. They are autonomous communities within the British Empire, equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any respect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the Crown, and freely associated as members of the British commonwealth of nations. These words were big with destiny. They have been the subject of speculation,· interpretation, dispute, not only within the British Empire but outside it. They have excited the most lively curiosity among foreign jurists, not excluding American jurists. One of these, Professor Loewenstein of Munich, has lately sent me a commentary of his own upon them, in which he describes the Report embodying them as the "Magna Carta of the British Com­ monwealth"-Die Magna Carta des Britischen Weltreiches. The synonym is not inapt in one respect; namely in this, that it was well and truly said by Maitland of the most sacramental words in Magna Carta that it was possible for subsequent generations to worship them because it was possible to misunderstand them.

    Island Studies Journal , Vol. 9, No. 1, 2014, pp. 103-122 The role of the political system in shaping island nationalism: a case-study examination of Puerto Rico and Newfoundland. Valérie Vézina PhD candidate, Université du Québec à Montréal Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT: Islands are sites where specific forms of governance can develop, providing insights for ‘continental’ nations. This paper discusses the role the political system has in shaping nationalist policies and demands in island settings, examining the specific cases of Puerto Rico and Newfoundland. Starting from a hypothesis outlined by both Fazi and Hepburn, this paper aims at finding empirical data and evidence to the hypothesis that island jurisdictions having a different party system than their central state show an increase in their nationalist demands. In order to do so, this paper first examines the definition of island nationalism and offers, following Lluch’s typology, a framework for analyzing nationalist demands. Then, it examines important historical material in both Newfoundland and Puerto Rico. This will demonstrate how political parties and political leaders can use nationalism to shape policies and will allow us to verify the initial hypothesis. Keywords: islands; nationalism; Newfoundland; political leaders; political parties; political system; Puerto Rico © 2014 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction Islands have been studied and celebrated in literature, biology, anthropology and politics for many years; and the study of the relationship between islandness and nationalism goes back at least to the musings of Rousseau (1765) on Corsica. In the study of island nationalism in particular, there is some agreement that some key circumstances can enhance nationalist sentiments, be they economic, geographical or political.
