Most of these states are developing economies but in recent years even the smallest European micro-states have won acceptance in the councils of the organised international system. This study is a comprehensive examination of the international relations of these states in three principal areas of concern: issues of status and legitimacy; the conduct of diplomacy and the efforts of micro-states to achieve strategies of self-reliant economic development. While the research has confirmed the vulnerabilities of micro-states in all three areas which have been stressed in the literature of the last decade, it also reveals surprising opportunities for some micro-states to ameliorate their weaknesses and to achieve a constructive engagements within the international system.

If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication Western Sahara as a Hybrid of a Parastate and a State-in-exile: (Extra)territoriality and the Small Print of Sovereignty in a Context of Frozen Conflict Irene Fernández Molina, University of Exeter Raquel Ojeda-García, University of Granada Abstract This paper argues that the “declarative” parastate of the SADR claiming sovereignty over Western Sahara is better understood as a hybrid between a parastate and a state-in-exile. It relies more on external, “international legal sovereignty”, than on internal, “Westphalian” and “domestic” sovereignty. While its Algerian operational base in the Tindouf refugee camps makes the SADR work as a primarily extraterritorial state-in-exile de facto, its maintaining control over one quarter of Western Sahara’s territory proper allows it to at least partially meet the requirements for declarative statehood de jure. Many case-specific nuances surround the internal sovereignty of the SADR in relation to criteria for statehood, i.e.

  • The Unfinished Referendum Process in Western Sahara
    The Unfinished Referendum Process in Western Sahara By Terhi Lehtinen Terhi Lehtinen is the Programme Officer at the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM), Onze Lieve Vrouweplein 21, 6211 HE Maastricht, The Netherlands; Tel: +31 43 350 2923; Fax: +31 43 350 2902; E-mail [email protected] Abstract The Western Saharan conflict, between Morocco and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguia el Hamra and Rio de Oro (Polisario), has constituted a major threat to regional stability in North Africa since the Spanish decolonisation in 1975. The war has cost thousands of lives, with prisoners of war taken on both sides, and forced Morocco to construct a huge fortified wall in the Sahara. The conflicting parties have a fundamental disagreement on the status of Sahara; Morocco claims its marocanity based on the region’s historical ties with Moroccan dynasties. In contrast, the Polisario fights for the Sahrawi people’s right to self-determination, bolstered by Organization of African Unity (OAU) principles and United Nations (UN) resolutions. However, the underlying dispute concerns the control of the region’s rich phosphate and fish resources. The UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (Minurso) has played the major role in the organisation of the referendum for self-determination, delayed several times due to disagreement on the voter identification and registration. In January 2001, the Polisario declared the end of the ceasefire, effective since 1991, due to Morocco’s failure to respect the agreed principles. The political settlement of the dispute remains difficult to achieve and frustration on the ground is increasing.

  • Senate Passes GIDC Bill Page NO.01 Col NO.02
    Senate passes GIDC bill Page NO.01 Col NO.02 AAMIR SAEED ISLAMABAD: The Senate Tuesday passed ‘The Gas Infrastructure Development Cess (amendment) Bill 2018’ with a majority vote to collect Rs12 billion from CNG stations that is half of the cess payable to the government by them. State Minister for Finance Rana Afzal Khan presented the bill in the House while members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan opposed it and also staged a token walkout. The minister said the CNG stations through All Pakistan CNG Association have agreed with the government to pay approximately half of the cess payable pertaining to the period from January 2012 to May 2015 amounting to Rs12 billion. He said that hundreds of court cases pertaining to the matter are already pending with different courts but now the CNG sector has come up with a plausible solution of the matter. PTI Senator Azam Swati, however, said the CNG stations had collected Rs62 billion from consumers while they agreed to pay a meagre Rs12 billion to the government. He along with other members requested the chair either to defer the bill or send it back to a relevant standing committee for review as he alleged that some owners of CNG stations were lobbying the lawmakers to get the bill passed. The state minister for finance admitted that people linked to the CNG sector were lobbying for the passage of the bill because they think the government should give them an incentive before expiry of its term. He, however, expressed his ignorance about involvement of any corruption in the matter and suggested Deputy Chairman Senate Saleem Mandviwalla to send the matter to National Accountability of Bureau (NAB) for investigation if there is a matter of any corruption in it.
