DOWNLOAD EBOOKOver the past thirty years we have witnessed a demand for resources such as minerals, oil, and gas, which is only set to increase. This book examines the relationship between Arctic communities and extractive resource development. With insights from leading thinkers in the field, the book examines this relationship to better understand what, if anything, can be done in order for the development of non-renewable resources to be of benefit to the long-term sustainability of these communities. The contributions synthesize circumpolar research on the topic of resource extraction in the Arctic, and highlight areas that need further investigation, such as the ability of northern communities to properly use current regulatory processes, fiscal arrangements, and benefit agreements to ensure the long-term sustainability of their culture communities and to avoid a new path dependency This book provides an insightful summary of issues surrounding resource extraction in the Arctic, and will be essential reading for anyone interested in environmental impact assessments, globalization and Indigenous communities, and the future of the Arctic region.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe unique historical, economic, and social features of the Canadian North pose special challenges for the social economy – a sector that includes nonprofits, co-operatives, social enterprises, and community economic development organizations. Northern Communities Working Together highlights the innovative ways in which Northerners are using the social economy to meet their economic, social, and cultural challenges while increasing local control and capabilities. The contributors focus on the special challenges of the North and their impact on the scope of the social economy, including analyses of land claim organizations, hunter support programs, and Indigenous conceptions of the social economy. A welcome resource for scholars and policy-makers studying any aspect of the Canadian North, Northern Communities Working Together is a major contribution to the literature on the social economy in Canada.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis examination of non-renewable resource development & the sustainability of Aboriginal communities draws on the experience of Aboriginal people, governments, resource developers, and other key players. The Northwest Territories was selected as the focus of the study since it illustrates particularly well a set of complex issues that affect Aboriginal communities across Canada. The introduction reviews the opportunity offered by non-renewable resource development and the environmental, cultural, social, and political context in which such development is occurring. Section 2 outlines a vision for achieving sustainable Aboriginal communities over the next 10-25 years. Section 3 summarizes the profound political changes under way in the Territories and section 4 presents recommendations to ensure that the cumulative effects of past, present, & future development are properly managed. Section 5 turns to specific recommendations directed at improving the climate for investment & economic development in the Territories. Section 6 presents recommendations on capacity building and section 7 addresses the importance of consultation with Aboriginal people, proposing two measures to support Aboriginal involvement in consultation processes. The focus in section 8 shifts to recommendations intended to promote economic diversification and ensure that Aboriginal communities receive long-term benefits from non-renewable resource development. Section 9 reviews the debate about the free-entry system for mining in the Territories. Brief concluding comments are presented in section 10. Appendices include a list of background papers and a review of important complementary initiatives related to Aboriginal communities and non-renewable resource development.
