Linking Essentialist and Constructivist Ethnicity
This article argues that the essentialist and the constructivist positions within theories of ethnicity are in fact compatible if one introduces a concept here called “internalized fluid capacities”, connoting that which is inherently (genetically) dispositional – and in that sense biologically “anticipated” – but which remains to be developed into observable social characteristics through sociocultural impact. This perspective is based on the ge…
The 2011 Swedish Supreme Court Ruling: A Turning Point for Saami Rights
In 1998 a lawsuit was filed at the Umea District Court, Sweden, by 120 landowners in Nordmaling against the three Saami villages of Ran, Vapsten and Umbyn. The complaint concerned the entitlements to lands in the territory of Nordmaling, owned by the plaintiffs but habitually accessed by the Saami as winter pasture for their reindeer. The question was whether the Saami villages fulfilled the legal requirements of use over rime and had the right t…
Is There a Future for Arms Control
Self-determining the Self: Aspects of Saami Identity Management in Sweden
The topic of this paper concerns the variable essentialist and constructivist perceptions of Saami identity as reflected in the criteria specified by the Swedish state on the one hand and the notions of those who self-identify as Saami on the other. Hence, it deals heavily in the comparison of state as opposed to Saami formal definitions of "Saami", but it is the general principles and the dilemmas highlighted in these definitions that are under …
Human-Animal Relations in Pastoralism
Humans and Reindeer on the Move, this special issue of Nomadic Peoples, carries a challenging intent of purpose. It aims to give a state-of-the-art. comparative perspective of reindeer management spread around the circumpolar rim. Reindeer-related livelihoods encompass the topic in such diverse and multiple ways that movement becomes not only the overarching 'glue' of this special issue; it also invites us, together with the authors, to contribut…
The Long Walk VI: An Interview with Robert Paine in Three Acts
March, 2001 Robert Paine, and Hugh Beach, two enthusiasts of Saami ethno-politics, reindeer pastoralism and northern studies in general, have ensconced themselves at the latter's home in Stockholm. Their mutual project assignment from the journal Nomadic Peoples is to come away with the makings of an interview article featuring Robert, and toward this end the table at which the two white-haired anthropologists sit is strewn with papers and books …
National Missile Defense: A new dynamic and new responses
In his speech to the National Defense University in Washington, DC on 1 May 2001, President George W. Bush laid out his vision for national missile defence. He made it clear that this is to be directed, not at the 'thousands of ballistic missiles in [Russian] hands but in the hands of ... states for whom terror or blackmail are a way of life'. He called for 'a new policy, a broad strategy of active non-proliferation, counter-proliferation and def…
Secessions, interventions, and the case of Kosovo
This paper examines the question of secession – what causes it, when it is justified, whether force can be used, and what can be done to make secession unnecessary. It goes on to explore the question of intervention in terms of precedents and the UN charter. In the case of Kosovo it attempts an ethical evaluation of Operation Allied Force, making use of the 'just war' criteria as a framework. Conclusions are drawn, on the whole favourable to NATO
Global regimes for arms control
At the end of a century which has seen the development and use of weapons capable of increasingly massive destruction, on a scale never before seen, it is encouraging to find so much effort being devoted to arms control. This review outlines the histories of the major arms control treaties and conventions and describes the progress in ongoing discussions that can be expected over the next few years. It concludes with a paradox: that the existing …
