Health service impacts and extractive industries
Resource extraction and development projects alter community health and well-being in complex and diverse ways. The extractive industry's impacts on local infrastructure and services are commonly recognized social externalities, yet little detail is available on how these manifest across the healthcare system. This study offers a better understanding of the health service impacts of resource extraction and development. It does this by capturing t…
Economy, territory, and identity
Indigenous peoples throughout the circumpolar north have made significant progress in terms of securing self-determination through greater political autonomy. Although such change is important, it must be accompanied by greater economic control aimed at reducing state dependencies. Using an analytical framework developed by Norwegian political scientist, Stein Rokkan, this article explores the interplay between economy, territory, and identity am…
Nested Federalism and Inuit Governance in the Canadian Arctic
The Canadian federal system was never designed to recognize Indigenous governance, and it has resisted formal institutional change. But change has come. Indigenous communities in the North have successfully negotiated the creation of self-governing regions, most of which have been situated politically and institutionally within existing constituent units of the Canadian federation. These varied governance arrangements are forms of nested federali…
Nunavik and the Multiple Dimensions of Inuit Governance
Over the last five decades, the emergence of a sophisticated and multidimensional set of governance institutions in the predominantly Inuit regions of Canada and the circumpolar north has had a profound impact on the lives of Inuit peoples and the states in which they live. The region of Nunavik in northern Québec has played an important role in the political development of the Canadian and circumpolar Inuit, serving as both an institutional inno…
Northern Sustainabilities
Indigenous Research and Academic Freedom
Over the last several decades, scholars working on Indigenous topics have faced increasing pressure to engage in research that promotes social justice and results in formal partnerships with Indigenous communities. In this article, we argue that non-community-based research, in which the researcher exercises academic autonomy over the project, still has a role to play in Indigenous-focused research, depending on the research question, topic, and …
Resource Communities in a Globalizing Region
Northern British Columbia has always played an important role in Canada’s economy, but for many Canadians it also existed as an almost forgotten place: a vast territory where only a few roads, some railroad tracks, and a ferry system connected small cities, towns, and villages to the outside world. Now, as the global appetite for oil, gas, hydroelectricity, wood, and minerals intensifies, this resource-rich and geographically important region is …
Environmental Activism and the Urban Crisis
Journal Article Environmental Activism and the Urban Crisis: Baltimore, St. Louis, Chicago Get access Robert R. Gioielli. (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2014. xii, 211 pp. $64.50.)

I'm not dead yet
At the outset of the twenty-first century, the survival of many minority and indigenous languages is threatened by globalization and the ubiquity of dominant languages such as English in the worlds of communication and commerce. In a number of cases, these negative trends are being resisted by grassroots activists and governments. Indeed, there are many examples of activists and governments working together in this manner to preserve and revitali…
The Dynamics of Intra-jurisdictional Relations in the Inuit Regions of the Canadian Arctic
One of the most exciting developments in Canadian federalism has been the emergence of Aboriginal self-governing regions. This paper constructs a theoretical framework for exploring the evolution of intra-jurisdictional relations in the self-governing Inuit regions of the Canadian Arctic. Intra-jurisdictional relations in these regions are characterized by a unique set of relationships between elected governments and organizations that represent …
Mixing Politics and Business in the Canadian Arctic
Over the past three decades, Inuit economic development corporations (IEDCs) have played an important role in preparing the Inuit regions of Nunavik in northern Québec and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the Northwest Territories for self-government. In addition to building vital capacity through the provision of services, programs and economic opportunities, IEDCs have also represented their respective regions in self-government negotiations…
The Inuit Circumpolar Council in an Era of Global and Local Change
For over 30 years, the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) has represented and promoted the interests of Inuit peoples across the circumpolar north. This transnational organization has championed a number of political, cultural, and environmental causes that are important to the Inuit, and raised the profile of Arctic and Inuit issues in multilateral forums such as the Arctic Council and the United Nations. In the words of Poul Krarup, the editor of …
The Arctic Promise
Nested Federalism in Arctic Quebec
The creation of an autonomous region of Nunavikwithinthe province of Quebec would constitute a new phase in the development of Canadian federalism. Although there is no existing domestic model for such a political arrangement, the system of nested federalism in the Russian Federation offers a useful comparative tool for examining the internal and external features of the emerging system of government in Nunavik, as well as the challenges of opera…
The view from below
Local government reforms in contemporary Russia are placed in the broader contexts of political reform under Putin and the historical relationship between local administration and the state. Reforms of local government thus help illuminate the architecture of contemporary state building in Russia and the degree to which contemporary Russia perpetuates political traditions. This study reviews the antecedent action in local government prior to the …
Like the Sound of a Drum
Like the Sound of a Drum: Aboriginal Cultural Politics in Denendeh and Nunavut , Peter Kulchyski, Winnipeg: University of Manitoba Press, 2005, pp. xi, 305. Much of the existing literature on politics in the Northwest Territories (Denendeh) and Nunavut focuses on the dynamics of political, economic and social change at the territorial level of government. This is especially true if one considers the case of Nunavut. In recent years, a number of b…

The 1999–2000 Elections in Russia: Their Impact and Legacy, Vicki L. Hesli and William M. Reisinger, eds., New York: Cambridge University Press, 2003, pp. 301. In many respects, the title of this volume understates the importance of its contribution to our understanding of the political dynamics of post-Soviet Russia. By conducting a thorough autopsy of the pivotal 1999 parliamentary and 2000 presidential elections, the contributors to The 1999–2…
Abandoning the Nest
The impacts of proposed regional mergers on the northern autonomous okrugs (districts) of Russia are explored and discussed. The paper begins by examining the link between federalism, diversity, and the protection of vulnerable peoples living in remote and northern regions. Following an overview of the challenges facing Russia's northern regions in the post-Soviet period, the author outlines the factors and groups that are influencing the debate …
Matryoshka Federalism” and the Case of the Khanty Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug
A specialist on Russian local and regional government examines relations among levels of political authority within Tyumen' Oblast'. Russian-language publications and on-site interviews constitute the base of evidence. Issues examined include challenges to the region posed by dissolution of the USSR, legal and political conflicts among levels of government, relations with federal authorities in Moscow, the role of oil companies in the region, and…
