Manx Gaelic and physics, a personal journey Brian Stowell. Doolish, Mee Boaldyn 2011 At the age of sixteen at the beginning of 1953, I became very much aware of the Manx language, Manx Gaelic, and the desperate situation it was in then. I was born of Manx parents and brought up in Douglas in the Isle of Man, but, like most other Manx people then, I was only dimly aware that we had our own language. All that changed when, on New Year’s Day 1953, I picked up a Manx newspaper that was in the house and read an article about Douglas Fargher. He was expressing a passionate view that the Manx language had to be saved – he couldn’t understand how Manx people were so dismissive of their own language and ignorant about it. This article had a dra- matic effect on me – I can say it changed my life. I knew straight off somehow that I had to learn Manx. In 1953, I was a pupil at Douglas High School for Boys, with just over two years to go before I possibly left school and went to England to go to uni- versity. There was no university in the Isle of Man - there still isn’t, although things are progressing in that direction now. Amazingly, up until 1992, there 111 JCLL 2010/2011 Stowell was no formal, official teaching of Manx in schools in the Isle of Man.

    Independence Movements in the EU? How Separatism Takes Over and Endangers Europe As a Peace Concept 1

    3 / 2019 & Sabine Riedel Independence Movements in the EU? How Separatism Takes over and Endangers Europe as a Peace Concept 1 Separatist movements exist worldwide, often due to conflicts over power and resources. If this phe- nomenon also affects the European Union, all politicians should sound the alarm bells. The EU is a peace project based on an ever-closer cooperation between its members. However, regional parties, which are currently striving for independence, seek a conflict, for the central question is not whether the regions have a right to secession, but whether the EU members will recognise them as states. Since a territorial secession violates the constitutional order against the will of the nation states concerned, the circle of supporters is likely to remain small. Therefore, the separatist parties demand majority decisions from supranational bodies. In this way they want to solve another problem, namely that their regions remain in the EU as full members. The pro-European image cultivated by many separatist parties is therefore a strategic calculation for the realisation of their vision of a ‘Europe of all peoples’, by which they mean though ethnic and cultural units and not the national peoples of the EU. This redefinition of the concept of nation, however, endangers member states’ stability and thus European integration. Independence movements are social forces that independence movements. In fact, the 193 mem- want to separate a regional unit from a certain ber states of the United Nations (UN) decide state territory.

    Summing up in the Senedd (Assembly) 2) News from the Imperial Capital (Westminster) 3) from the European Parliament

    This is the seventh edition of the Brexit Briefing, we hope you enjoy. Much more information about all of these issues can be found on the Brexit Section of our website. There are three parts to the Briefing: 1) Summing up in the Senedd (Assembly) 2) News from the Imperial Capital (Westminster) 3) From the European Parliament If you have any feedback let us know by emailing [email protected]. Summing up in the Senedd By our Assembly Brexit Spokesman Steffan Lewis AM and the Assembly Team This week the leader of Plaid Cymru, Leanne Wood, and First Minister Carwyn Jones launched a joint White Paper setting out Wales’ position for the negotiations for withdrawing from the EU. The White Paper emphasised the importance of continuing participation in the single market when we leave the EU in order to protect the Welsh economy from the damage and uncertainty that losing the ability to freely trade with our closest neighbours would cause. Leanne Wood set out her reasons for joining with the Welsh Government to write the paper here. She wrote, ‘Plaid Cymru has been given an opportunity to influence and shape the Welsh position on Brexit. Had we not taken this opportunity, our nation's voice would have been weakened.’ The White Paper marks a shift in Welsh Government policy. In September, in what was described as ‘the most shocking event since devolution’ by Adam Price AM, Welsh Labour joined with the Tories and UKIP to vote against continuing single market participation. The White Paper was widely welcomed, including by the First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon, who called it a ‘serious contribution to the Brexit debate’.

    Journal on Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues in Europe Vol 13, No 3, 2014, 73-93 Copyright © ECMI 2014 This article is located at: http://www.ecmi.de/fileadmin/downloads/publications/JEMIE/2014/Crepaz.pdf The Impact of Europeanization on Minority Communities in “Old” Member States: Italy and France Katharina Crepaz* University of Innsbruck The impact of Europeanization processes on minority protection is well researched regarding “new” member states, with the way that EU conditionality influenced minority politics during the accession phase being the most prominent topic. However, Europeanization processes in “old” EU countries have not been the focus of scholarly attention. When looking at the actual development of Europeanization, the “download” component (streams of influence from the European to the national and sub-national level) is stressed, while “upload” components (ideas and claims taken from the sub-national to the supra-national sphere) are often neglected. This paper aims to address both issues, by looking at the impact of Europeanization processes on minority communities in two “old” member states (the German-speaking minority in South Tyrol/Italy and the Breton minority in France) and taking on a process-oriented view of Europeanization, focusing on “bottom-up” developments. The data drawn from structured interviews with both representatives of minority communities and European Commission officials shows that the minorities’ different positions and degrees of protection lead to different goals and aims, which are expressed through diverse channels and strengths of “upload” and “download” processes. Keywords: minority protection; Europeanization; “download” and “upload” processes; civil society Minority protection and minority rights only came into the European Union (EU)’s focus after the downfall of communism, and after the Balkan wars had shown the devastating power of ethnic conflict.

    Program Coppieters Academy Gender Equality

    Coppieters Academy Gender Equality in a Changing Europe 10—12 July 2018 Brussels Program Coppieters Academy Gender Equality in a Changing Europe 10—12 July 2018 Brussels The goal of this academy is to understand political, economic and social transformations and ruptures around Europe from a feminist perspective. Several recent political developments, like Brexit and the rise of far right movements, have threatened the idea of a Europe based on equality, solidarity and social justice. Patriarchal and nativist agendas have jeopardized the rights of women, minorities, people of color, and migrants, and altered the landscape for organisations promoting cultural diversity, women’s rights and LGBTQIA+ rights, as well as civil society more generally. The economic crisis and subsequent austerity measures have disproportionately impacted women due to their vulnerable position in the labor market, lower average incomes, greater reliance on social protection and services, and primary responsibility for care work. While governments cut spending in healthcare, pensions, education and social services, they continued to militarise, both at home and abroad. Migration and displacement, generated by conflict, human rights abuses, poverty and climate change, have left women and girls at risk of all forms of gender-based violence, from rape, early marriage, and exploitation by smugglers. Together with leading experts and practitioners, the participants will explore the concept of intersectionality by thinking critically about overlapping identities (gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, race, migrant/ citizenship status, age, ability etc.), and will examine how to apply intersectionality in their daily life and activism. Participants will also have the chance to improve their campaigning and advocacy skills.
