Le processus de redefinition de l'espace politique dans l'Arctique: Les Inuit et l'etat canadien

Abstract

This thesis studies the socio-political evolution of Nunavut, a proposed political entity in the Canadian Arctic, and tries to pinpoint its potential impact and influence for Canada, nationally and internationally. This study of political geography is done by way of discourse and content analysis of Inuit publications (Inuit Today, Nunavut Newsletters) and governmental documents (Hansard, the Gazette of Canada, etc). This analysis covers a time-period of 16 years, from the foundation of the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada (ITC) in 1971 to the last Conference of First Ministers on aboriginal rights in 1987. This time-period is subdivided into three segments of approximately 5 years: (1) Planning period (1971-76), (2) Preparation period (1976-82), (3) Negotiation period (1982-87). The introduction and conclusion of the thesis elaborate on the evolution of world affairs toward globalism and on the evolution of the Fourth World in this context.

Cette thèse étudie l'évolution sociopolitique du Nunavut, une entité politique proposée dans l'Arctique canadien, et tente de cerner son impact et son influence potentiels pour le Canada, à l'échelle nationale et internationale. Cette étude de géographie politique se fait par le biais de l'analyse du discours et du contenu de publications inuites (Inuit Today, Nunavut Newsletters) et de documents gouvernementaux (Hansard, Gazette du Canada, etc.). Cette analyse couvre une période de 16 ans, depuis la fondation de l'Inuit Tapirisat du Canada (ITC) en 1971 jusqu'à la dernière Conférence des premiers ministres sur les droits ancestraux en 1987. Cette période est subdivisée en trois segments d'environ 5 années : (1) Période de planification (1971-76), (2) Période de préparation (1976-82), (3) Période de négociation (1982-87). L'introduction et la conclusion de la thèse élaborent sur l'évolution des affaires mondiales vers le globalisme et sur l'évolution du Quart Monde dans ce contexte.
