A Dissertation Proposal: Reconceptualizing Sovereignty Through Indigenous Autonomy: A case study of Arctic governance and the Inuit Circumpolar Conference

本文拟从国际关系社会科学的角度对北极圈因纽特人会议进行研究，以更好地理解北极土著政治及其对全球政治发展的影响。 为了检验以国家为中心的国际政治方法的常设理论，研究将集中在三个因纽特人实体，国际刑事法院，努纳武特和格陵兰自治。 将通过档案研究以及正式和非正式访谈收集数据，以便通过社会政治话语和民族国家体系内土著非国家集体权力的合法化，阐明跨国因努伊特人身份和自治的动态过程。

This dissertation proposal in the social science field of International Relations to do research on the Inuit Circumpolar Conference in order to better understand Arctic indigenous politics and how it influences global political development. To test the standing theory of state-centric approaches to international politics, the research will focus on three Inuit entities, the ICC, Nunavut, and Greenland Home Rule. Data will be gathered through archival research and formal and informal interviews in order to shed light on the dynamic process of transnational Inuit identity and autonomy through socio-political discourse and the legitimization of indigenous, non-state collective authority within nation state systems.
