A Global Comparison of Non-Sovereign Island Territories: the Search for ‘True Equality’

Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 43-66 A global comparison of non-sovereign island territories: the search for ‘true equality’ Malcom Ferdinand CNRS, Paris, France [email protected] Gert Oostindie KITLV, the Netherlands Leiden University, the Netherlands [email protected] (corresponding author) Wouter Veenendaal KITLV, the Netherlands Leiden University, the Netherlands [email protected] Abstract: For a great majority of former colonies, the outcome of decolonization was independence. Yet scattered across the globe, remnants of former colonial empires are still non-sovereign as part of larger metropolitan states. There is little drive for independence in these territories, virtually all of which are small island nations, also known as sub-national island jurisdictions (SNIJs). Why do so many former colonial territories choose to remain non-sovereign? In this paper we attempt to answer this question by conducting a global comparative study of non-sovereign jurisdictions. We start off by analyzing their present economic, social and political conditions, after which we assess local levels of (dis)content with the contemporary political status, and their articulation in postcolonial politics. We find that levels of discontent and frustration covary with the particular demographic, socio- economic and historical-cultural conditions of individual territories. While significant independence movements can be observed in only two or three jurisdictions, in virtually all cases there is profound dissatisfaction and frustration with the contemporary non-sovereign arrangement and its outcomes. Instead of achieving independence, the territories’ real struggle nowadays is for obtaining ‘true equality’ with the metropolis, as well as recognition of their distinct cultural identities.

The Home Rule Question

Réussir l’agrégation d’anglais The Home Rule The Home Rule Question (1870-1914) Pauline Collombier-Lakeman Collombier-Lakeman Pauline Question Home Rule became a significant issue from the 1870s across the British Isles. Aspirations to limited legislative autonomy were notably strong in Ireland, where a Home Rule party progressively emerged and played a major role both on the island and at Westminster. While the question of Irish Home Rule came to dominate discussions, the quest for self- (1870-1914) government was not limited to Ireland but soon spread to other parts of the United Kingdom. In Scotland and Wales, Home Rule movements were also formed with their (1870-1914) own specific objectives. This led to exchanges on the idea of “home rule all round”. On Pauline Collombier-Lakeman a broader scale, Home Rule spurred cross-imperial solidarities and raised the question of the future of the British Empire and the possibility of an “imperial federation”. And although it aroused keen interest and support across Britain and the rest of the Empire, it also provoked intense opposition in the shape of loyalism or unionism. In doing so, Home Rule reshaped British politics along new lines. Pauline Collombier-Lakeman is a Senior Lecturer in British Studies at the university of Strasbourg. After studying at the ENS Fontenay-Saint- Cloud and passing the Agrégation, she was awarded her PhD from the Université Paris 3 – Sorbonne Nouvelle in 2007. Her research work has been focusing on Irish parliamentary nationalism and the relationship between Irish Home Rulers and the British Empire.

An Iron Law of Nationalism and Federation? a (Neo-Diceyian) Theory of the Necessity of a Federal Staatsvolk, and of Consociational Rescue*

A (neo-Diceyian) theory of the necessity of a federal Staatsvolk, and of consociational rescue* BRENDAN O'LEARY1 Government Department, London School of Economics, London, WC2A 2AE A federal state requires for its formation two conditions. There must exist, in the first place, a body of countries _ so closely connected by locality, by history, by race, or the like, as to be capable of bearing in the eyes of their inhabitants, an impress of common nationality _ A second condition absolutely essential to the founding of a federal system is the existence of a very peculiar _ sentiment _ the inhabitants _ must desire union, and must not desire unity _ Albert Venn Dicey (1915: 75) _ Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people ± a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and their customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms and efforts, ®ghting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established their general liberty and independence.
