  • A Study of the Garifuna of Belize's Toledo District Alexander Gough
    Indigenous identity in a contested land: A study of the Garifuna of Belize’s Toledo district Alexander Gough This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2018 Lancaster University Law School 1 Declaration This thesis has not been submitted in support of an application for another degree at this or any other university. It is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated. Many of the ideas in this thesis were the product of discussion with my supervisors. Alexander Gough, Lancaster University 21st September 2018 2 Abstract The past fifty years has seen a significant shift in the recognition of indigenous peoples within international law. Once conceptualised as the antithesis to European identity, which in turn facilitated colonial ambitions, the recognition of indigenous identity and responding to indigenous peoples’ demands is now a well-established norm within the international legal system. Furthermore, the recognition of this identity can lead to benefits, such as a stake in controlling valuable resources. However, gaining tangible indigenous recognition remains inherently complex. A key reason for this complexity is that gaining successful recognition as being indigenous is highly dependent upon specific regional, national and local circumstances. Belize is an example of a State whose colonial and post-colonial geographies continue to collide, most notably in its southernmost Toledo district. Aside from remaining the subject of a continued territorial claim from the Republic of Guatemala, in recent years Toledo has also been the battleground for the globally renowned indigenous Maya land rights case.

Summary / Abstract • The partner country’s needs The Government of Belize is interested in a pilot project to proof the concept of a solar off-grid system supplying remote communities with electricity. The Belizean Ministry of Energy, Science & Technology and Public Utilities (MESTPU) has identified rural village electrification using solar off-grid systems (mini/micro-grids) as an integral component of its long-term strategy. In this strategy concerning the electrification of remote communities, only an independent off-grid system is feasible from both a financial and technical perspective. Therefore, MESTPU is looking for a partner to realize a pilot project to get a proof of concept for future off-grid electrification projects. • Project content This is a pilot project to proof the concept of ZENNA’s Smart Solar Off-Grid system in Belize. Within this project ZENNA will do the system engineering and plan the “smart part” of the Smart Solar Off- Grid system in cooperation with zhaw and the Belizean company Solar Energy Solutions Belize Ltd. (SESB), who will act as a local counterpart for construction and maintenance. This pilot project is necessary to gather data during the time of 6 months and to define parameters to optimize the system.
