Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper examines the role of identity, the politics of identity contestation and domestic political structures in the decisions that states make regarding disengagement from their colonial and territorial possessions as well as the manner in which they disengage. While it incorporates insights from the literature on nationalism, and identity in International Relations, it is specifically interested in examining the politics that are involved in the contestation of identity, and how this, filtered through domestic political structures, affects the decisions that states ultimately make. Focusing on the United States' colonial relationship with Puerto Rico, this paper asks how and why it has remained fundamentally unchanged despite various efforts to alter it over the course of a century. It will look specifically at the role played by the contestation between two differing versions of American identity, and the difficulty of resolving issues of contestation or implementing changes that may have emerged from the rise of a dominant identity within a domestic political system where intra- and inter-branch struggle have been built into the structures of government, in contributing to the stalemate in US-Puerto Rican relations.
