  • Modernizing Government in the Channel Islands: New Political Executives in British Crovvn Dependencies
    Modernizing Government in the Channel Islands: New Political Executives in British Crovvn Dependencies Philip Morris* Abstract This article examines recent reforms of internal government arrangements in the Channel Islands jurisdictions of Jersey and Guernsey. These reforms represent the most far-reaching changes in insular government for over half a century in response to concerns over slow and poor-quality decision-making, conflicts of interest, absence of effective accountability mechanisms and external critique of aspects of the Islands' offshore finance sectors, upon which their economies are heavily dependent. The article is structured into three sections. Section I outlines the constitutional position of both jurisdictions, the pressures for reform and the political economy of British offshore finance centres. Section II critically evaluates key features of the new systems and their performances to date. The final part, Section III, highlights key themes including the necessity for external pressure as a trigger for reform, selective/diluted implementation of reform packages and the problem of genuine accountability in small jurisdictions. Keywords: Jersey, Guernsey, governments, reform, offshore, accountability I. Background: Constitutional Context and the Political Economy of British Isles Offshore Finance Centres The Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey are distinct jurisdictions which enjoy a constitutional status that can only be characterized as 'unique'.' They are neither part of the United Kingdom nor colonies: * Independent public law researcher; e-mail: [email protected]. The background work for this article was prepared while the author was Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Stirling. The author expresses his gratitude to those officials of the States Public Libraries in St Helier, Jersey and St Peter Port, Guernsey for their assistance during field trips to the Islands.

  • SOAR (Situation & Outlook Analysis Report) December 2015
    Phoenix Park, Dublin SOAR (Situation & Outlook Analysis Report) December 2015 Summary Headlines Overseas visitors to Ireland for the January to October 2015 period increased by +13% when compared to the same period last year, according to the Central Statistics Office (CSO). Growth was seen from all market areas - Mainland Europe (+14%), Australia and Developing markets (+14%), North America (+13%) and Great Britain (+11%) This means it was the best ever January- October period on record to Ireland overall and +7% ahead of the previous peak in 2007. The Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) reports that total overseas visitors to Northern Ireland for the first half of 2015 grew by +7% when compared to the same period in 2014. Growth was driven by visitors from our main markets of GB (+5%), Mainland Europe (+14%), North America (+11%) and from Australia and Developing markets (+6%). According to Visit Belfast, the city is on track to deliver its most successful tourism year to date, with hotel occupancy, visitor interest and tourist enquiries all at record levels for the first half of 2015. Industry sentiment on the island of Ireland and among overseas trade partners has generally been very positive for the year. Tourism Ireland has consulted with industry and trade contacts at home and in overseas markets to monitor the likely implications for travel and tourism arising from the increased terrorist threats in the wake of the Paris attacks. While all express concern, there have been very few reported cancellations for the island and the consensus is that it is too soon to call the situation.
