  • The Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland Founded 1885 Registered Charity No
    The Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland Founded 1885 Registered Charity No. 214726 A DIRECTORY OF HUGUENOT REFUGEES ON THE CHANNEL ISLANDS 1548-1825 Edited by Robert Nash (Huguenot Society Quarto Series 63) Despite their small size, the Channel Islands (Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark) played an important role, both as a refuge and as temporary staging posts, for refugees fleeing France. Furthermore, the modified form of francophone Anglicanism which emerged on the islands formed a model for the conformist French churches in England and Ireland. This volume (the first general study of this particular topic) lists the details of several thousand refugee individuals, taken from island sources (wills, records of reconnaissances and abjurations, parish records of baptisms, marriages and burials), English records (Royal Bounty charity, archives of the French Hospital etc.), and sources in France. The volume tackles the difficult task of separating Huguenot refugees from native Channel Islanders (who were also French-speaking and Protestant) and cites documentary evidence for identifying the refugees. The detailed introduction examines the questions of who the refugees were, where they came from, how they escaped, when they arrived on the islands, whether they stayed or moved on, and how much they intermarried with the native islanders. There are clear and detailed maps showing the islands’ locations, the island parishes, and French provinces. ------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • The Sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit Era
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 151-168 The sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit era Maria Mut Bosque School of Law, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain MINECO DER 2017-86138, Ministry of Economic Affairs & Digital Transformation, Spain Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, UK [email protected] (corresponding author) Abstract: This paper focuses on an analysis of the sovereignty of two territorial entities that have unique relations with the United Kingdom: the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories (BOTs). Each of these entities includes very different territories, with different legal statuses and varying forms of self-administration and constitutional linkages with the UK. However, they also share similarities and challenges that enable an analysis of these territories as a complete set. The incomplete sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and BOTs has entailed that all these territories (except Gibraltar) have not been allowed to participate in the 2016 Brexit referendum or in the withdrawal negotiations with the EU. Moreover, it is reasonable to assume that Brexit is not an exceptional situation. In the future there will be more and more relevant international issues for these territories which will remain outside of their direct control, but will have a direct impact on them. Thus, if no adjustments are made to their statuses, these territories will have to keep trusting that the UK will be able to represent their interests at the same level as its own interests.

PRELIMINARY RECONSTRUCTION OF TOTAL MARINE FISHERIES CATCHES FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE CHANNEL ISLANDS IN EEZ EQUIVALENT WATERS (1950-2010) Darah Gibsona, Emma Cardwellb, Kyrstn Zylicha and Dirk Zellera a Sea Around Us, Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, 2202 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z4, Canada b School of Geography and Environment, Oxford University Centre for the Environment, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3QY, England [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Fisheries catches are reconstructed for the United Kingdom (UK) including England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man. The Channel Islands (Jersey and Guernsey) are reconstructed separately, as their Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) equivalent waters are outside of the UK’s EEZ. Publically available reported landings data from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) are used as a baseline for the reconstruction. Estimates of discarded, recreational and unreported catch are used from peer-reviewed and grey literature as well as government reports to reconstruct the fisheries of the UK. The UK’s total reconstructed catch including England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man is 35% higher than the reported landings for the same entities.
