The End of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
Scholars Archive, 2021Co-Authors: Caban PedroAbstract:The House Committee on Natural Resources held hearings on April 14, 2021, on two bills that propose to end Puerto Rico’s status as an unincorporated territory of the United States: H.R. 1522, the Puerto Rico Statehood Admission Act, and H.R. 2070, the Puerto Rico Self-Determination Act of 2021. Under H.R. 1522, Puerto Rico would hold a referendum, with a transition to Statehood if the electorate chooses that territorial option. H.R. 2070 does not specify territorial options; instead, delegates elected to a Puerto Rican Status Convention would draft a list of self-determination options, and a referendum would be held for voters to select the preferred option. According to Senator Bob Menendez, a cosponsor of H.R. 2070, the available options include “Statehood, independence, a free association or any option other than the current territorial arrangement.” Both measures would obligate Congress to abide by the Puerto Rican people’s decision on their country’s territorial status

The Business of Puerto Rico’s Statehood Party
Scholars Archive, 2021Co-Authors: Caban PedroAbstract:To reach the unreachable star. This is my quest, To follow that star No matter how hopeless, No matter how far. Don Quixote’s elusive quest is a fitting metaphor for Puerto Rico’s Statehood movement. For over 120 years Puerto Rican annexationists have campaigned to convert the archipelago into a state of the Union. In 1899, one year after Spain was forced to cede Puerto Rico to the United States, the island’s Republican Party and the Federal Party called for the archipelago’s “definitive and sincere annexation.” Consistent with their understanding of U.S. territorial policy, the annexationists expected that Puerto Rico would automatically become an incorporated organized territory, and eventually be granted Statehood. This clearly did not happen. The Supreme Court ruled in 1901 (Bidwell v Downes) that since Puerto Rico was “inhabited by alien races differing from us in religion, customs, laws, methods of taxation, and modes of thought” it would be barred from admission into the Union until that time when “our own theories may be carried out and the blessings of free government under the Constitution extended to them.” Puerto Rico long ago acquired these attributes, which are central to the creed of American exceptionalism, but it still languishes as the American empire’s last remaining colony

Don’t Make Puerto Rico a State Now
Scholars Archive, 2021Co-Authors: Caban PedroAbstract:Puerto Ricans went to the polls on November 3, 2020 to elect a new governor and hundreds of other officials, and yes to vote on whether their colonized archipelago should become the 51 st American state. The results signaled a resounding rejection of both major political parties. They also revealed a far more ambivalent attitude towards the status question than pro-Statehood proponents will admit

aiding the virtuous circle international development assistance and citizen confidence in government in bangladesh
Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding, 2018Co-Authors: Matthew S Winters, Simone Dietrich, Minhaj MahmudAbstract:In areas of limited Statehood, foreign development assistance often finances public goods and services. Do citizens attribute the presence of this development assistance to their government and thereby generalize about the legitimacy of their own government because of it? In an informational experiment embedded in a nationwide survey in Bangladesh, we find evidence in line with the argument that the presence of foreign aid signals government competence. The informational treatment effects are particularly large among the majority of respondents who perceive high levels of corruption in their country.

Fluidity and dynamics of de facto Statehood: the case of Iraqi Kurdistan
2021Co-Authors: Palani K.m.a.Abstract:This thesis explains the dynamics and nature of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq’s (KRI) de facto Statehood since its inception in 1991, in particular the vicissitudes de facto independence since then. This dissertation characterises de facto Statehood in Kurdistan, and uncovers the dynamics of de facto Statehood in Iraqi Kurdistan at internal, national and international levels. Kurdistan’s de facto Statehood (such as territorial control, monopoly on the use of violence, and engagement with the international community) is shown to be inherently characterised by fluidity. In this thesis, fluidity is defined as a highly unstable nature of de facto Statehood in the relational context of non-recognition. The dissertation reports on interviews with a number of high profile politicians and policy makers from the region to provide unique insights, among others the three main factors at play in the fluidity of the de facto state of Iraqi Kurdistan: the balance of power between the regional capital of Erbil and the Iraqi national capital of Baghdad; the level and form of internal fragmentation; and the change of strategies to gain international recognition.
