Hybrid Governance in the Arctic: Carving out a Political Space for Coastal Indigenous Communities in Arctic Emergency Preparedness and Response

该奖项将支持增加两名社区成员（一名来自指挥官群岛的阿留申人，一名来自拉布拉多纳因的因努克人）参加计划于2016年9月在阿拉斯加沙点举行的已计划和资助的讲习班，作为与北极应急准备和响应（AEPR）有关的更大系列计划讲习班的一部分。更大的项目和研讨会系列的资金来自达勒姆大学的冰法项目，该项目由Leverhulme信托基金资助。首席律师杰西卡·沙迪安博士是ICE法律子项目“地方与土著视角”的合伙人和负责人。更大项目的主要研究问题是调查“沿海土著社区如何以及以何种方式可以和应该在北极应急准备和响应政策和治理中发挥作用”。研讨会的目标是更好地了解沿海社区希望在区域搜索和救援政策中发挥什么作用，他们需要什么（如教育、基础设施、融资、科学知识）才能实现这一目标，以及他们认为在应急准备和响应计划中，哪些问题是最相关和最适当的决策。最终目标是解决土著人民如何在应急准备和反应的复杂法律环境中发出自己的声音的问题；国内各级政府重叠，而次国家、区域、国际和跨国各级政府存在治理缺口。该研讨会有可能为更大的研究项目提供信息，ASSP提供的资金将使研讨会和项目作为一个整体更加包容所有北极土著利益相关者社区。讨论小组的成果将有助于实现较长期的项目目标，其中包括帮助促进当地沿海社区之间正在进行的区域合作，包括收集基线数据（例如文化绘图和土著知识研究），以及建立和维持应急准备和反应监测系统。此外，ASSP的贡献将增加在科学领域高度未被充分代表的群体的参与。

This award will support the addition of two community members (one Aleut from the Commander Islands and one Inuk from Nain, Labrador) to an already planned and financed workshop set to take place in September of 2016 in Sand Point Alaska as part of a larger series of planned workshops relating to Arctic Emergency Preparedness and Response (AEPR). Financing for the larger project and workshop series comes from the University of Durham's ICE LAW project funded by the Leverhulme Trust. The coPI, Dr. Jessica Shadian, is the Co-partner and Lead of the ICE LAW subproject: "Local & Indigenous Perspectives."The main research question of the larger project is to investigate "how and in what ways can and should coastal indigenous communities play in Arctic Emergency Preparedness and Response policy and governance." The goal of the workshop, which will be conducted through "talking circles," is to better understand what role coastal communities want to play in regional Search and Rescue policy, what they need (e.g. education, infrastructure, financing, scientific knowledge) in order to make this happen, and what issues they see as the most relevant and appropriate decision making on emergency preparedness and response programs. The ultimate goal is to address the question of how indigenous peoples can find their voice in the complex legal landscape of emergency preparedness and response; a landscape that is filled with government overlap at the domestic levels and governance gaps at the subnational, regional, international, and transnational levels.This workshop has the potential to inform the larger research project and the funding provided by the ASSP will make the workshop and the project as a whole more inclusive of ALL Arctic indigenous stakeholder communities. The outcomes of the talking circles will contribute to the longer term project goals, which includes helping to facilitate ongoing regional collaboration among local coastal communities, including the collection of baseline data (e.g. cultural mapping and Indigenous knowledge studies) and to establish and maintain monitoring systems for Emergency Preparedness and Response. In addition, the ASSP contribution will increase the participation of highly underrepresented groups in science.
