Abstract

68 International Combinations, Present and Possible, between Circumpolar Inuit National Groups. Politics, Problems and Potentials By R. G. Williamson * The discussion of what has been called northern nation autonomy may usefully be enriched by further attention to two significant dimensions in addition to the major legalistic forms. It is increasingly appropriate to study the development of relative- ly autonomous or potentially-autonomous regions of the north, not only in their »parent« state constitutional context - but increasingly with more rigorous attenti- on to the integrated details of distinctive cultures involved. This means working from the folk roots and vital values which are the cultural foundation of the society in question and give character to its entirety. At the other end of the continuum are the developing pan-nation or international cultural-group organizations. These function first to reinforce culture-based politicized entities on a regional basis, and also in many cases can exert internationally-weighted leverage on individual states concerning some policies and issues. Furthermore - these pan-culture movements are often seen as the possible shapers of some future new form of culture-based na- tion transcending state boundaries.
