  • Condominiums and Shared Sovereignty | 1
    Condominiums and Shared Sovereignty | 1 Condominiums And Shared Sovereignty Abstract As the United Kingdom (UK) voted to leave the European Union (EU), the future of Gibraltar, appears to be in peril. Like Northern Ireland, Gibraltar borders with EU territory and strongly relies on its ties with Spain for its economic stability, transports and energy supplies. Although the Gibraltarian government is struggling to preserve both its autonomy with British sovereignty and accession to the European Union, the Spanish government states that only a form of joint- sovereignty would save Gibraltar from the same destiny as the rest of UK in case of complete withdrawal from the EU, without any accession to the European Economic Area (Hard Brexit). The purpose of this paper is to present the concept of Condominium as a federal political system based on joint-sovereignty and, by presenting the existing case of Condominiums (i.e. Andorra). The paper will assess if there are margins for applying a Condominium solution to Gibraltar. Condominiums and Shared Sovereignty | 2 Condominium in History and Political Theory The Latin word condominium comes from the union of the Latin prefix con (from cum, with) and the word dominium (rule). Watts (2008: 11) mentioned condominiums among one of the forms of federal political systems. As the word suggests, it is a form of shared sovereignty involving two or more external parts exercising a joint form of sovereignty over the same area, sometimes in the form of direct control, and sometimes while conceding or maintaining forms of self-government on the subject area, occasionally in a relationship of suzerainty (Shepheard, 1899).

Renewable Energy 3. INFORMATION SOURCES AND OTHER NGO’S: 4. INTERVIEWS 1 1. CONTEXT The Balearic Islands are an archipelago in the Mediterranean, east of the Spanish mainland. Scientists regard these islands as one of the best-kept marine environments in the Mediterranean region. However, its ecosystems face significant pressure, due to many reasons including; recreational and industrial overfishing, mass tourism, inappropriate sewage systems, water consumption, boats anchoring in vulnerable areas, pollution from plastics and other materials etc. Menorca is the furthest east of the islands and is often called the jewel of the Mediterranean due to it traditionally being more low-key than its neighbours, Mallorca and Ibiza. This has often resulted in Menorca being side-lined in terms of funding and legislative priorities allocated from the Govern Balear (based in Mallorca) to protect its natural ecosystems and biodiversity. Menorca has an approximate population of 90,000 people and a surface of 700km2. However, during the summer months, the population rises to over 200,000 people. The island is divided into 8 administrative authorities (town halls) and these are governed by the Consell Insular de Menorca (CIME) who is in turn governed by the Govern de les Illes Balears. The Govern de las Illes Balears (GOIB) is responsible for making legal decisions affecting education, health, water, renewable energy and marine conservation, amongst others. However, with regards to the preservation of Menorca, the current Consell Insular is taking on a much more hands-on approach as they feel that the decisions affecting the island should be made, or at the very least informed by, the islands local government and town halls.

    D. Midgett Pepper and bones: the secessionist impulse in Nevis In: New West Indian Guide/ Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 78 (2004), no: 1/2, Leiden, 43-71 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com09/30/2021 10:39:29AM via free access DOUGLAS MIDGETT PEPPER AND BONES: THE SECESSIONIST IMPULSE IN NEVIS INTRODUCTION The emergence of the often twinned issues of "globalization" and "nation- alization" in ethnographic discourse obscures, with new terminology, the fact that for some anthropologists these processes have been central to their work for a considerable period of time.1 For those whose academie interest has focused on the Caribbean region and who. attempt some sense of the historical determinants of these social formations, the current "discovery" of the importance of global forces in the lives of ordinary folks in locales removed from centers of industry, commerce, and intellectual production may be somewhat puzzling. There is a certain temptation to respond to this flurry of interest with the question, "so what's new?" Likewise, in a region whose history is one of subjugated identities, repeated instances of resistance on the part of the powerless, and in many cases, only recent attempts at chart- ing directions involving national sovereignty, issues of identity, community, peoplehood, and nationality have routinely received much attention. The reception that has been accorded Benedict Anderson's book, Imagined Communities (1991), has animated much inquiry into the nature of national sentiments and the direction of nationalist impulses. In this enter- prise, Anderson's book has stimulated much useful analysis.

  • Clw Lecture 23-2-17
    HISTORY & HERITAGE WEEK LECTURE – 23rd FEBRUARY 2017 I am honoured by the invitation of UWI Open Campus to deliver this lecture as part of History & Heritage Week which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the attainment of Associated Statehood by St. Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla on 27th February 1967. History and Heritage Week is held to focus the attention of the community on the importance of its history and heritage to the life and development of our country and its people. We all know the very wise saying that a nation that forgets its past has no future. We should be ever conscious of our history, ancient and modern, we should be recording it for posterity and teaching it to our youth. We are not doing very well at that. I urge UWI, the Heritage Society, the Brimstone Hill Society, the CFB College and the business community to knock heads together urgently to rectify this societal deficiency. I owe my love of history to two great teachers. The first is Sir Probyn Inniss to whom I pay tribute this evening as a patriot of the highest order and an example to be followed in his humble and dignified contribution to our society in so many ways- as a teacher, a Civil Servant, a Governor, a man of the Church, a historian, a lawyer and a leader of Brimstone Hill Society and other heritage causes. The second outstanding history teacher who influenced me greatly was Mr. J.B.C Haynes of blessed memory who made history an enthralling subject and whose command of the language was brilliant.
