本文探讨了自决作为一种集体能力的想法，它增强了殖民定居国家土著人民的自由和福祉。集体能力在迄今为止的文献中没有引起太多的关注，但这篇文章试图证明，集体自决能力正是阿马蒂亚·森所描述的那种自由，既是发展的首要目标，也是发展的主要手段。这一论点的核心有两个想法：个人和集体的政治自决能力之间存在着必要的相互依存关系;在发展进程中，集体政治赋权具有内在的、工具性的和建设性的价值。为了支持这一理论论点，本文审查了将自决与地球仪不同区域土著人民的社会和经济福利和福祉的具体改善联系起来的一些现有证据。
The article explores the idea of self-determination as a collective capability that enhances the freedom and well-being of indigenous peoples in colonial settler states. Collective capabilities have not attracted much attention in the literature to date, but the article sets out to demonstrate that the collective capability for self-determination is precisely the sort of freedom Amartya Sen describes as both the primary objective and the principle means of development. Two ideas lie at the core of the argument: the necessary interdependence that exists between the individual and the collective capability for political self-determination; and the intrinsic, instrumental and constructive value of collective political empowerment in the developmental process. To bolster the theoretical argument, the article examines some of the available evidence linking self-determination with concrete improvements in the social and economic welfare and well-being of indigenous peoples in different regions of the globe.
