“…In the past, paradiplomacy was dominated by economic considerations: trade, investment, tourism (Keating and Aldecoa 1999). The new generation of paradiplomacy deals with climate change, human rights, gender, international development (Paquin 2022;Reinsberg and Dellepiane 2022;Royles 2017;Setzer 2017). Paradiplomacy is now a space for social engagement, political exchange, cultural reproduction.…”

“…The claim is that the phenomenon of subnational cooperation should not be understood from the narrow perspective of aid budgets and ODA commitments. The motivation behind the international engagements of substate governments is the attempt to do development differently (Reinsberg and Dellepiane 2022). And Scotland seems to be fully aligned with this ethos.…”

Why do substate actors engage in foreign affairs even if endowed with limited formal powers? How are these activities institutionalised and legitimised? This article addresses these questions by examining a critical case: the rise of Scotland’s international development cooperation. The spotlight is put on the domestic sources of foreign policy formation. Our core argument is that the politics of nation-building underpins both the ambition and the increased distinctiveness of the Scottish approach to development. This nation-building effort is mainly reflected in the emergence of an assertive narrative: ‘Scotland as a good global citizen’. Another core insight is the strong articulation between domestic and international representations. The external projections of the Scottish Government mirror the domestic agenda. Our article places the striking Scottish case in analytical and comparative perspective.

“…High politics concerns, such as defence security, should remain under the authority of central governments, but low politics objectives (including economic, environmental, cultural, and scientific/academic interactions that do not pose threats to national sovereignty) can be delegated to component units (Michelmann & Soldatos, 1990). Bernhard and Dellepiane (2022) proposed that regional governments use foreign policies and subnational identification to protect regional autonomy within their quasi-federal polity. They identified three facilitating conditions for sub-state foreign policymaking: a permissive constitutional framework, regional culturallinguistic distinctiveness, and a regionalist party capable of leading the 'territorial mobilization' process (Bernhard & Dellepiane, 2022).…”

Paradiplomacy of Jersey: Opportunities and challenges in the post-Brexit era

This paper explores challenges that Jersey faces in the post-Brexit era, and how Jersey can utilize paradiplomacy to overcome obstacles and broaden opportunities. Due to its constitutional status, preexisting international arrangements, and turbulences resulting from Brexit, the Bailiwick of Jersey is in a complicated context. Since May 2021, fishing conflicts have erupted off the coast of Jersey after the Jersey government adopted a post-Brexit fishing licensing scheme that requires French fishing boats to provide data showing they have a history of fishing in Jersey’s waters. On the other hand, Jersey’s export industry is stuck due to the island no longer benefiting from the free movement of goods after Brexit. In future negotiations, Jersey can use paradiplomacy to resolve post-Brexit difficulties. Jersey’s interests will be best served by actively pursuing paradiplomacy with the EU and its members in order to achieve more beneficial trade and fishing arrangements for both parties. Jersey’s paradiplomacy is not synonymous with protodiplomacy. It would be preferable for Jersey to remain under the sovereignty of the UK to maintain the substantial economic advantages and preferential treatment granted by the metropolitan territory.
