Distinguished Bux historian Peter Clarke shows the answer is yes. When Churchill received the Nobel Prize in 1953, it was oria ct not for his role as a world leader, but for his literature.

  • The Sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit Era
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 151-168 The sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit era Maria Mut Bosque School of Law, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain MINECO DER 2017-86138, Ministry of Economic Affairs & Digital Transformation, Spain Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, UK [email protected] (corresponding author) Abstract: This paper focuses on an analysis of the sovereignty of two territorial entities that have unique relations with the United Kingdom: the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories (BOTs). Each of these entities includes very different territories, with different legal statuses and varying forms of self-administration and constitutional linkages with the UK. However, they also share similarities and challenges that enable an analysis of these territories as a complete set. The incomplete sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and BOTs has entailed that all these territories (except Gibraltar) have not been allowed to participate in the 2016 Brexit referendum or in the withdrawal negotiations with the EU. Moreover, it is reasonable to assume that Brexit is not an exceptional situation. In the future there will be more and more relevant international issues for these territories which will remain outside of their direct control, but will have a direct impact on them. Thus, if no adjustments are made to their statuses, these territories will have to keep trusting that the UK will be able to represent their interests at the same level as its own interests. Keywords: Brexit, British Overseas Territories (BOTs), constitutional status, Crown Dependencies, sovereignty https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.114 • Received June 2019, accepted March 2020 © 2020—Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

  • How Has Gibraltar's Position Within Britain's Military Structure Impacted
    STUDENT PAPER SERIES39 How has Gibraltar’s position within Britain’s military structure impacted on the role of women in Gibraltar Society? Shelina Assomull Master’s in International Relations Academic year 2016-2017 ABSTRACT The military base is an intrinsic part of a country’s worldwide presence and power made necessary by the anarchistic international system. Gibraltar is a remnant of Britain’s global footprint. The fact that Gibraltar initially acted as a military base makes assessing the base’s position and impact on Gibraltar essential in analysing Gibraltarian gender relations. This dissertation aims to understand this, using feminist theory. To do so, I will firstly focus on the feminist theorising of military bases presented by Cynthia Enloe’s Bananas, Beaches and Bases. I will then examine Gibraltar’s similarities to the ‘base women’ Enloe examines. This will encompass prostitution, marriage, nationality, employment status and other themes in Gibraltar that draw parallels with Enloe’s theory: The base always comes first. This is particularly true to Gibraltar between the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. Part two will build on this by exploring a unique three-way nexus of identity. This nexus encompasses three relationships that intertwine in a way that is unique to Gibraltar. These relationships are; the interaction and tensions between the military and the civilian, the class divide between British and Alien, and at the heart of all these relationships remains a core divide in them all which is that of masculine and feminine. This will demonstrate that although Gibraltar once matched the Enloe base, the territory’s history has developed towards the late twentieth century, maintaining aspects of base life but still evolving its societal dynamics and feminist exterior, resulting in a shift of gender identities today.
