Gibraltar is an Overseas Territory of the UK within the EU, which
has for three centuries been at the centre of a dispute between
Britain and Spain, a dispute based on traditional perceptions of
sovereignty. Hitherto the dispute has been managed in a
predominantly bilateral way, but this has prevented the people of
Gibraltar having an equal say on the issue of Gibraltar's
sovereignty and decolonisation. It has produced a paradox of
governance and constitutionalism that encases the Gibraltar people.
This book considers the effects of sovereignty and the culture of
bilateralism on the dispute, and examines the resulting deficits of
governance and democracy. In assessing the evolution of the themes
underlying the dispute it asks how its resolution might be
facilitated by the application of ideas drawn from the modern legal
context of late sovereignty, pluralism and stateless nationalism,
suggesting that a productive trilateral approach and recognition of
the legal and societal context could enable an enduring settlement.
The author marries theories from international relations,
constitutional law and public international law in the context of
modern literature on sovereignty and nationalism, applying these
theories to the case-study of Gibraltar with emphasis on
constitutionalism in its international and EU context to produce a
ground-breaking addition to the literature on stateless
nationalism, late sovereignty and constitutional pluralism. As such
it also complements recent studies of sub-state societies, regions
or nations within Europe and elsewhere, including Catalunya, the
Basque Country and Scotland and Wales, and in the broader
Commonwealth context, other British overseas territories. This book
will be of interest to lawyers, political scientists,
constitutional historians and constitutionalists.
