The “Missing Link”
Space, Race, and Transoceanic Ties in the Settler-Colonial Pacific
Frances Steel
The inauguration of a steamship route between Canada and Australia, described as the “missing link,” was envisaged to complete Britain's imperial circuit of the globe. This article examines the early proposals and projects for a service between Vancouver and Sydney, which finally commenced in 1893. The route was more than a means of physically bridging the gulf between Canada and Australia. Serving as a conduit for ideologies and expectations, it became a key element of aspirations to reconfigure the Pacific as a natural domain for the extension of settler-colonial power and influence. In centering the “white” Pacific and relations between white colonies in empire, the route's early history, although one of friction and contestation, offers new insights into settler-colonial mobilities beyond dominant themes of metropole–colony migration.

The education policies of Berlusconi’s fourth government have been
characterized by a certain decision-making efficiency, when compared
with those of the governments that immediately preceded it (both Prodi
III and Berlusconi II and III). In fact, in the first two and a half years of the 16th Legislature, there have been decisions that will have a significant
impact on the educational system, and it should be emphasized
that many of these have actually been put into effect or are in the
first stage of implementation. The minister of education, Mariastella
Gelmini, has therefore clearly shown greater decision-making abilities
than her predecessors. She has taken advantage of the fact that she
has been able to develop her strategy via a “financial” route, with
educational rule-making informed by Law No. 133/2008, which contains
“urgent measures for economic development and for the simplification,
competitiveness, and stabilization of public finance and tax
equalization.”

Beyond the Liberal Route to Federalism
Republican Freedom
Jean-François Grégoire
In an effort towards developing a normative theory of federalism, this paper offers a critical assessment of the work of Will Kymlicka and Ferran Requejo in order to show the progress and failures of liberal nationalist authors on issues raised by the normative dimensions of federalism in Western multinational contexts. More exactly, the paper argues that both authors fail to give a complete theory of federalism because the liberal conception of self-determination as non-interference can only create superficial unity and contingent trust, especially in multinational contexts, where non-interference is to regulate relations between particular identities and conceptions of citizenship. Drawing on this critical assessment of liberal nationalism, I argue that the neo-republican ideal of non-domination, as developed by Philip Pettit (1997, 2012), provides us not only with the adequate normative heuristics to assess national rights of self-determination, but also international relations and the institutional conditions needed to create binding trust within multinational federal constellations.
