Post-Colonial Relationships on the Flagpole
Middle States Geographer, 2018, 51: 77-86 IMPERIAL BANNERS? POST-COLONIAL RELATIONSHIPS ON THE FLAGPOLE Noah Anders Carlen Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering United States Military Academy West Point, NY 10997 ABSTRACT: This research was conducted to examine trends in the flags of post-colonial nations around the world, grouping them by the empire to which they belonged. A flag is the preeminent symbol of a nation, typically representing a country’s most important values. As empires broke up, dozens of new countries struggled to find and establish common identities. As expected, countries that went through similar colonial experiences produced flags with similar values, reflecting their history with imperialism. This research compiled data of what was represented on the national flag of every former colonial country and tallied how many from each empire (Portuguese, Spanish, French, and British) included certain values or ideas. The resulting information showed that the institution of independence was much more prominent in Portuguese and Spanish countries than it was in French and British countries, caused by greater struggles during their colonial period. This project reveals how flags can be used collectively as a powerful tool to analyze geographic and historical trends, using national symbols as a point of comparison between countries across the globe. Keywords: Flags, vexillology, colonialism, identity INTRODUCTION Flags are strongly connected to the concepts of patriotism and national identity, and as such they reveal a lot about who they represent. Like any symbol, they are dynamic over time, depicting only a snippet of a people’s values and how they define their country. -

Info-FIAV No. 49, July 2019 ISSN 1560-9979 Fédération internationale www.FIAV.org des associations vexillologiques www.Facebook.com/FIAV.org BOARD RECOMMENDATION ON MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS The Board’s recommendation on a membership application is ministerial. The Board considers whether an application demonstrates the candidate is an “association or institution anywhere in the world having as a substantial purpose the scientific study of vexillology,” see FIAV Constitution article 7(a), and whether the application satisfies the criteria of article 7(c): The Board and the General Assembly, in making their decisions about an applicant, shall have regard to the following: (1) the existence of a written constitution and its provisions; (2) the vexillological and non-vexillological activities of the applicant, including meetings, publications, and international relations; (3) in the case of an association, the number of its active members (minimum of five); (4) registration of its members or representatives in International Congresses of Vexillology; and (5) the length of time it has existed. In London the FIAV Constitution was amended to eliminate article 7(c)(6), requiring the “the presence of an autochthonous and authorized representative of the applicant at the session of the General Assembly at which there is to be a vote on the application.” Article 7(b) was amended as follows (emphasis added): The General Assembly at its next session shall vote on the application. An authorized representative of the applicant must appear at the session to present its case. Unless excused by the General Assembly, the representative must serve an active role in conducting the applicant's affairs. -
Tribar Flags: a Survey and Analysis
TRtBAR FLAGS A Survey and Analysis Mason Kaye 1. INTRODUCTION Today I'm going to talk atx)ut trIbars and the conclusions I reached after studying them for two years. A "tribar" is a flag bearing three stripes or bars; it is also known as a 'Iriband". Unlike a “tricolour", where there must be three different colours, a tribar can have two or three colours. The tribar Is one of the most popular flag designs - over 42% of ail national flags are tribars. i Its popularity is probably due to three things; 1) its simple, clear, recognizable, and easily made form, 2) the large number of possible colour combinations, and 3) imitation of other, earlier flags. There are three different forms of tribar designs: horizontal, vertical, and diagonal. The diagonal form is relatively rare, and has found general use on national flags only recently.2 l am going to talk about the horizontal and vertical forms, analyzing each one and comparing them. At the beginning of the summer of 1997, my Dad (Edward B. Kaye) gave me this challenge; • Find all horizontal trIbars possible. • Use these six coiours: Red, white, blue, green, yellow, and black. • Draw every one and Identify those that are real flags. ■ Ignore fimbriatlons and charges, unequal bars are okay. ■ If It Is not a current flag, show the date. • If It Is not a country's flag, list the country It is in. • Record your sources! I think he vranted to make sure I stayed out of trouble that summer! I did that research and analysis and published it in NAVA News.s It was so much fun that last summer I did vertical tribars and that was published in NAVA News, also.4At the end of each article, I listed the corrt)inations I hadn't found, and asked readers to help me find them. -
National Identity in the Political Party Flags in Croatia
National Identity in the Political Party Flags in Croatia Željko Heimer Abstract In 1989 the first new political parties were formed in Croatia after almost half a century of the single-party system and in 1990 the multiparty elections were held. The re-born democracy quickly produced dozens of new parties, most of which started using logos and symbols and many of them flags. In the last 20 years some of the parties were disbanded, others newly established, some have united, others split—the total number of parties registered at any given time has averaged about 100, although probably only a score or two had any significant influence in the country’s political life. With the different ideologies and interests, parties chose different flags and emblems depicted in them, some based on the national flag, on the chequy arms, on other national symbols, while other chose elements of regional and local identity, European and global symbols as well as other more particular ones. This paper systematically presents the flags of various parties in Croatia in the last 20 years with an emphasis on the identity symbols they use. A Flag of the Croatian Peasant Party, ca. 1927 (Croatian History Museum, HPM/PMH 11865) Proceedings of the 24th International Congress of Vexillology, Washington, D.C., USA 1–5 August 2011 © 2011 North American Vexillological Association (www.nava.org) 437 National Identity in the Political Party Flags in Croatia Introduction Political parties are the interest political organizations in democratic political systems, representing programs and interest of various social layers. In their competitive role, they enable competition between different programmes, and by having integrative role, they enable balance in the functioning of the political system. -
2001 State/Provincial Flag Survey
2001 State/Provincial Flag Survey The full report of this survey was published as: Edward B. Kaye, “Good Flag, Bad Flag, and the Great NAVA Flag Survey of 2001,” Raven: A Journal of Vexillology, vol. 8 (2001), p. 11-38. Summary: In 2001, the North American Vexillological Association conducted a poll on its website, asking its members and the public their opinions of flag designs in the U.S. and Canada. Responses came in from 100 NAVA members and over 300 members of the public in 20 countries. Participants rated 72 flags on their design qualities (rather than on political, historical, or geographic considerations) on a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 was the best score. They were asked to rely on their personal sense of good flag design in rating the flags, which appeared on the web page. They cast well over 29,000 individual votes. Association members favored strong, simple, distinctive flags, choosing New Mexico, Texas, and Quebec in first, second and third place, all with scores above 8. They scorned the "seal-on-a- bedsheet" design common to more than half of U.S. state flags, forcefully relegating those flags to the bottom of the heap with scores averaging less than 4 One flag drew far more attention than all others did. NAVA members and the public both gave the new Georgia flag the lowest score—2.4 points—by the largest margin of any flag. Some even asked to give it negative points. They disparaged Georgia’s flag as "a scalawag", "desolating", "simply awful", "hideous", and "by far the ugliest". -
Flying Flags in the United Kingdom
A Guide to Britain’s Flag Protocol Introduction BRITISH FLAG PROTOCOL The Union Flag is one of the best-known national symbols in the world. This is not surprising as it has been around for over 400 years with only minor changes. The Union Flag signifies the unity of the nations that make up the United Kingdom and dependencies, and demonstrates the bonds of citizen- ship which we all share. Whatever our differences may be, whatever our faith, culture, political views, ethnicity, first language or traditional customs, we can all stand beneath this flag united together in common purpose. But for too long our flag has been taken for granted and largely ignored. Few children are taught about it in school, few people know its history or even the correct way to fly it. It is time that this changed and we became familiar with our flag, because all of us have the right to fly the flag and may use it on land wherever and whenever we wish. It is the people’s flag as well as the state flag. The Flag Institute, in association with the Flags & Heraldry Committee, an all party group of the United Kingdom Parliament, has produced this booklet to help and guide you when flying the flag in a variety of situations - it provides a few simple rules to ensure that the flag is flown correctly and is treated with dignity and respect. We would like to pay tribute to Graham Bartram, Chief Vexillologist of the Flag Institute, for his outstanding graphics and detailed knowledge in the drafting of this booklet, and also to officials at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) who so kindly supported this venture. -

I called them forum to share my research today. “mappy flags”. Survey Results Now let me describe what I found. I was able to compile images and descriptions of over 370 “mappy flags”. In my research, I used many different sources of information. I asked my flag colleagues to help me in this task. Many responded, with information and flag images from all parts of vexillology. I read through all of the flag books and periodicals in my family’s library. Then I looked on the Internet, which provided about a quarter of my data. I made a page for each flag that I found, with the flag’s image and a description, and placed them in a binder. 1. Examples of Mappy Flags I created a database to keep track of all of the maps on Researching flag literature and consulting with my vex- flags I had documented, especially the ones for which I illological colleagues in NAVA and around the world, had descriptions but not images.
