Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the unique status of overseas territories, the authors analyze constitutional, economic, demographic, and cultural developments across regions controlled by Britain, France, and other nations. Covering diverse locations from Greenland to Gibraltar, the book highlights how these territories often become centers of international disputes, financial irregularities, and cultural clashes. Connell and Aldrich contend that a negotiated dependency may offer these territories more advantages than pursuing independence, presenting a thought-provoking perspective on their future.
