As several routine audiences will recognize, the network. has actually just celebrated its very first wedding anniversary therefore I believed this would certainly be a truly terrific chance. to do another concern as well as response video clip. I actually appreciated doing the first. one as well as I assume it had a fantastic response and I'' ve had a lot of. great questions for this set. So, allow'' s dive in. Hello. My name is James Ker-Lindsay. If you'' re new to the channel, right here. I consider global connections, statehood, freedom as well as. the origins of nations. So, the very first inquiry comes. from Finbarr Nolan, who asks: '' Exists a possibility that colonial. borders in Africa might be remedied in the near or long run given that recent jobs. like the strategy for the African Union passport could show that those boundaries are beginning. to break down or become less pertinent?' ' I assume this is an actually fantastic inquiry. due to the fact that it strikes at a fundamental problem of the means that we believe. of those borders in Africa.And something that keeps turning up is people. will certainly say, "however these are straight lines that "were attracted on the maps by European powers, is there. a means to resolve them that can we redraw them." We see that it ' s created a great deal of. problem and also definitely it has. We can see just how different groups. were separated by those lines and also then located themselves in separate states. The issue, certainly, is just how then do you currently open the problem of those borders. without triggering substantial conflict.And I believe this is the trouble, that we. always saw with the Wilsonian concept of self-determination this concept that if you. give people their very own nationwide homelands then that would resolve a great deal of. troubles- that it ' s an all-natural right. Of course, the World is not so basic. Teams wear ' t live in great discrete locations andAnd also How then do you start to. interesting that what we saw with those colonial limits in Africa was that. when those countries became independent they began to jealously guard those. boundaries since I believe they realised that, as incomplete as they were, they. It is still however deeply poor. I assume obviously we can see a. That you will still have national states, however the concept of boundaries in between those. simply open in terms of kind of flexibility of activity of individuals,. however likewise of products of solutions. As well as so you you get rid of a great deal of. the worst aspects of those borders. I think we ' ve seen the advantages that have actually brought, for instance, in the inquiry of.
Ireland as well as Northern Ireland. And also this is why Brexit for instance has been. so essentially destabilising; due to the fact that you had a tranquility agreement that had actually basically been. developed by making those boundaries much less relevant. I'think this is what we could be seeing also. establishing in Africa, which I believe would certainly be a a very favorable way of handling a lot of the. problems that have come up from the illustration of these limits on as lines on map that didn ' t. truly take into consideration the neighborhood effects.So, I assume this is an actually interesting point as well as. I certainly would wish that this could be the means of minimizing -not necessarily fixing, but. definitely easing- the most awful elements of many boundary issues; not necessarily simply. in Africa however I assume in many other areas
. We ' re currently, as I claimed, seeing it in Europe Yet there are other components of the globe. where developing more open boundaries, allowing people to cross over a lot more easily,. allowing better financial teamwork across those those boundaries, damaging them down,. I think will be hugely useful. So, it ' s really intriguing to see this happening in Africa and also I assume actually. ultimately is for the great. So, the second question originates from. the always great Geography World.If any of you aren ' t conscious, do inspect. out the network. I ' ll placed a link below'. ' Which conflict is probably to begin a war? For instance the current physical violence in the caucasus. due to Nagorno-Karabakh, where will be next? ' You know, if you ' d asked
me 6 months earlier,. Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh might really be. What we are seeing, as many several have. One thing we know around. But at the very same time there ' s none apart from.
Nagorno-Karabakh that right away leaps out at'me as being one that I think might arrange. of take off, if you like, anytime soon.That was the one that I had my eye on. So, "I wear ' t understand", is the basic answer. I ' m not prepared actually to put a forecast on this. I think the ones that I would really be concentrating. on however are the low degree, the reduced intensity disputes that are already taking place which are. simply obtaining no worldwide focus at all.So, I think for instance very really.
few people are conscious of the issue in Cameroon and "the project for an. independent Ambazonia, for instance. This is becoming one of the bloodiest conflicts. on the planet, and it ' s probably the most dangerous dispute occurring in Africa right now. as well as yet extremely extremely couple of individuals have listened to regarding it. So, I assume as opposed to consider
which. disputes can bring about an additional one more war, I believe it ' s really far better to now be focusing. on those problems which are obtaining a growing number of severe, but just put on ' t seem to be obtaining. as much international attention as they should.Next inquiry, P Fucanan: ' What do you construct from democrats. in the United States currently mentioning their intent of providing Puerto Rico. statehood in advance of the election. ' This is an actually intriguing dispute. that appears to be'developing now that there are democrats who are saying, "appearance, if we. win the presidency as well as if we win congress, then perhaps it ' s time to continue. with producing 2 brand-new states.
" So, one of those 'would of program be Puerto Rico. The other one would certainly be Washington, D.C. And also as routine customers will certainly understand. I ' ve currently done a video clip on Puerto Rico in which I ' ve actually asked that. question of what its future seems to be. That whereas very few people. appear "to desire freedom, there appears to be a split choice between. those that would'take the current condition of a commonwealth, which I" think we can call. a nest by an additional name, or statehood.And, yet, generally has been an uncertainty in the USA towards the suggestion. of providing Puerto Rico statehood. Yet I believe possibly what we ' ve seen is this. One of the things they can do is. American political system is playing out. Yet, yes, it ' s definitely an a really actually. intriguing argument and will certainly be interesting to see, when the political election ' s over, once the dirt is. worked out, as well as we understand exactly what ' s took place, if the Democrats do discover themselves in a commanding. setting whether they lug this through.I guess a little part of. me is sceptical regarding this. This has actually undoubtedly been a long-serving dispute, however are we actually visiting. something emerge from'all of this? So, I think my view is that this is. a really really fascinating subject yet let ' s watch and see what takes place. Next, zd vickery: ' Is it uncommon that. ' This is such an interesting inquiry because it. Are you going. recognising federal governments and rather transferred to the concept that we acknowledge states, but we. don ' t actually after that acknowledge governments. We function with what we have or we. wear ' t collaborate with what we have.And this current choice by the European Union is. intriguing since it type of seems to recommend, as well as I believe there ' s been a variety of indications of. this, that we are starting to relocate back right into a globe where- not widely, yet certainly much more. common- this concept of acknowledging governments.
And utilizing this as a way to indicate displeasure. with federal governments that have actually come to power, and also claim, "look you understand we put on ' t recognise'. you, we put on ' t accept that you have actually been appropriately chosen as the reputable head of government. or head of state of this certain country.". So it ' s a truly intriguing. growth that ' s starting to find out.It may be'a return to the past. I wear ' t know just how prevalent it ' s mosting likely to be ended up being, however it ' s definitely I believe a pattern. that ' s that ' s really actually worth watching. So, following Ansi Rulamo asks: ' What. do you believe is the'most not likely of the existing UN participants? Any country that. ended up being independent only by historical quirk? This is a wonderful concern and also it. Which nations came around by historic. Do you know what, I think I have to say that the ones that intrigue me in many. Monaco, the tiniest UN member, how. procedure of Italian marriage? Andorra, if you like, pressed. in between France as well as Spain.I believe there ' s numerous interesting stories to. tell about exactly how these little pockets of region have actually made it through right into the 21st century as well as are. members of the UN, even as tiny members. I think they are so interesting. There ' s one various other nation which. I believe is is very intriguing. I ' m not going to state due to the fact that I ' m actually. intending on doing a video on it in a couple of weeks, which is really among my favorite stories. of secession in the modern-day global system.As I state, I won ' t state anything more, yet maintain watching as well as hopefully in a. few weeks time all will certainly be revealed.
But that would'be one of the other nations that. I ' d be really thinking about concentrating on and also I believe really did turn up come to be self-reliance. by a strange historical peculiarity, so to say. So, the following question from Al Carvo: ' You speak about country states separating usually, but what Nations do you assume are. probably to sign up with with each other? ' Once again, this is such an intriguing concern. to ask due to the fact that I do believe of this a whole lot. We ' ve obtained this idea'of state merger and one point. that has actually actually come out from doing the videos is just how the number of unsuccessful. instances of state merging there were. That even areas, nations, areas. Independent. I think it ' s tough to identify. I assume one that a noticeable one that I assume for all type of reasons we could. possibly see 'is Kosovo and also Albania. I ' m not saying that I assume it ' s particular. I ' m not stating that I even believe it ' s likely. I think that ' s one that potentially. interested in is Romania and Moldova.Again, there ' s a whole variety of concerns. That would be one that I. The following inquiry comes from Arvil: ' Why are there no legal instruments tools unilateral. ' I assume thisis an excellent question because it sort. of stick out that this does appear to be an obvious noninclusion', if you like, in worldwide. legislation as well as global politics.But i assume it ' s a concern that. swiftly becomes clear why there aren ' t if you become aware that states'have a. basic aversion to secession. They absolutely dislike unilateral. declarations, because, certainly, countries worry concerning their own. borders as well as their very own territorial stability. The thing that really terrifies them is that if
. they open the opportunity for territories to come to be independent through. independent affirmations of freedom, then what sort of result could. that carry them in the future.So there ' s an actual aversion to unilateral. sequence in international national politics. States really wear ' t want to develop the '. problems by which that might take place and also recognize that independent secession. remains in reality an option for territories. To ensure that ' s why they place ' t put in place. any type of legal tools for doing so. Yet, of program, law advances. It changes. What we have actually seen is some scenarios. where this may become a possibility. One component that has actually been quite. That there is this idea that in extreme . However it hasn ' t been tested as a plan. It ' s gone over in academic circles, but it. hasn ' t truly discovered any purposeful place in in useful national politics for some of the reasons that I.
described'in the video- which is not the very least of all the concern that nations have. that this is an irrevocable action. Unlike sending out in a peacekeeping pressure, that when the scenario relaxes down you can. draw the peacekeepers out, you can ' t acknowledge'an area as independent and after that when the. circumstance soothes down revoke that independence.I believe countries are very really. concerned regarding it from that respect . Although there have actually been these sorts of. discussions, they haven ' t truly removed. Another intriguing point, of training course,. is the International Court of Justice consultatory viewpoint on Kosovo. That deliberately guided clear. of this idea of independent secession as well as whether Kosovo is a state. Yet what it did claim, which was really. interesting, is it clarified the factor that an independent statement. of freedom, unless specifically banned in a certain instance,. It actually comes down to whether it ' s identified. In some methods, some would claim well that ' s.', I assume we we are seeing some. So, the next question comes from Head of state Torres: ' Why has actually there not been a. UN referendum in Somaliland? If Somaliland and Somalia. joined willingly in 1960 why have they not left like Gambia. as well as Senegal or Egypt and Syria ? This touches on an actually. essential inquiry regarding exactly how these kind of procedures emerge and also are managed. as well as are thought about by the worldwide community.I assume the trouble that we ' ve. seen when it comes to Somaliland is that also though it existed. as an independent state, the fact that when it signed up with Italian. Somaliland to produce Somali Republic it has had a tendency to be concerned by the worldwide. neighborhoods that this created a brand-new state. And after that, when that union went sour, as well as. Somaliland wanted to restate its freedom, that it it located that turned down. returns to the factor I simply made that nations do not such as secession.So what ' s in fact very simple for territories, as well as. again it relates back to this question a little earlier regarding the union of countries, it ' s. actually a lot easier for nations to find with each other than for those nations. to consequently damage apart. I believe this is what we ' ve seen in Somaliland. 'So, the concern would be why hasn ' t the UN granted a right for Somaliland. to have a referendum? For those people that ' ve looked. at the Somaliland situation, as well as any person that ' s accustomed to the network, understands. that I ' ve obtained a lot of compassion for Somaliland.I think that of all the de facto. states, if you like all over the world, this is probably
in the best placement to. insurance claim statehood and to be a future UN member. Ready to pass a resolution at this phase which is going to grant Somaliland a. In many methods this is the issue. Somaliland is captured in limbo, partly. Velika Bosnia: ' When you make the scripts what. ' Many thanks so much for this questionConcern It ' s a terrific concern due to the fact that. like to head to the source material. So what you will find is that I ' ve got. lots and also loads of books on sequence and instances and I ' ll go and describe. Also i actually like to go. There ' s a number of the videos. I ' ve made where I ' ve returned to these these documents and also as well as sort. of explored what actually happened.Stories that truly are barely. touched in history books today, yet exceptionally essential in understanding. exactly how we wound up in the situation that we are in all kinds of problems worldwide. So, for example, once again, the the. video that I did on Western Togoland. There had been barely anything created on. this as well as it had become a truly rare historic dispute which. underpins what we see today. I ' ve already done a video clip on Puerto Rico in which I ' ve truly asked that. I wear ' t recognize just how prevalent it ' s going to be become, but it ' s certainly I believe a pattern. I ' m not claiming that I even believe it ' s likely. One more interesting one that I ' m frequently. I ' ve made where I ' ve gone back to these these papers as well as and sort.In truth, there'' s been a fairly a substantial adjustment. from what happened in in the 1940s as well as 50s to today, yet however today just makes good sense. if you go back as well as you look at those files; consider the discussions that were had about. the setting of British Togoland and also the future of British Togoland and its. marriage with the Gold Coastline. So, I like those opportunities to go back. as well as begin checking out those kind of records as well as various other related sources,. information resources from the duration, to try and obtain a much better feeling. as well as item all of it with each other. In several methods, this is the side of making the video clips that I. actually love.The aspect of
exploration. Sometimes I could understand a scenario quite well. So, obviously, videos on Cyprus. I ' ve written on extensively. They'' re really familiar to me. far less familiar and I need to go off and also do some research study as well as read right into them. And, of course, what I try and do is make good sense. of larger arguments and also why these are essential. Yet going off as well as looking for out. And also then, periodically, there will be ones which. Extremely little bit well-known. It'' s going off and those I find terribly amazing. Much more than, frankly, it should. Yeah, these these 10 to 15 min video clips I. I can ' t tell you how much regard. It takes a great deal of time. It. takes a great deal of knowing. So, I understood absolutely nothing concerning lights. I understood nothing. concerning sound. Now, you can download them, but you ' ve still got to adjust them and also place. All of these things that I wear ' t think most. I ' d state, of all the things, the manuscript. You ' ve obtained to type of shorten them.'as well as make them a decent amount of time as well as to condense a great deal of details right into. something which is a 10 to 15 minute video clip. You ' re speaking typically days. of benefit each video. So, um, yeah, bear that in mind before. you evaluate - not just for me but also for any video clips that you see that any individual that'' s put. themselves out to try and also have a go at this. Simply recognize that it there is so numerous. different facets that have actually got to be found out. A lot time has reached go. into into making those videos. However I like to believe that they they'' re fascinating. They ' re possibly covering subjects that other individuals. aren'' t covering or covering them in a means that I'' d like to believe possibly has a bit. extra kind of authority, if you like.That I ' m claiming look I'' ve spent years looking. into this wide topic of secession as well as statehood as well as I'' m attempting to bring that to birth. when I'' m commenting on these circumstances. So, ideally, completion outcome is rewarding. But what I would love to claim is an. absolutely substantial '' Thanks ' to every person who has been so supportive given that I began this. All the Sorts. All the Subscribes. All the great remarks that I'' ve had. As well as, yes, YouTube obtains a poor name for the sort of throwaway remarks,. the one-liners that individuals make. And also yes, I get greater than my fair share of those,. particularly on some of the a lot more debatable videos, but I have to claim the quality of. I really appreciate it. I ' ve been asked so lots of actually interesting as well as. I ' m discovering an enormous. much once again to every person who ' s shown their support for the network in. whatever way'over the previous year. I ' ve truly enjoyed it. And also I want to make a lot. much more video clips. So, fingers went across. Thanks so much. Bye. I ' ve composed on thoroughly. Now, you can download them, yet you ' ve still got to manipulate them and also put. I ' d state, of all the things, the manuscript. I ' ve been asked so several really intriguing and also. I ' ve actually delighted in it.
