“…On an individual level, one journalist may choose to highlight or diminish his or her transnational identity in particular pieces, stories, and news outlets (personal communication: Dervišbegovic´; Furuly; Papinot; Svala). Rather than see this as inconsistent, one can see it as a strategic use of one's identity and a calculated reading of one's audience(s) (Plaut 2010(Plaut , 2012a. In the end, what matters is what is going to be the most effective for short-and long-term goals (Brysk 2013b, 8-9, 10).…”

“…These initiatives are recognized as complementing rather than competing with pan-Sápmi media and the pan-Saami identity. The process of working together-and supporting one another despite differences while creating journalistic content-is a key element of a Saami approach to politics (Plaut 2012a). There are, however, limitations to this approach.…”

The Saami and the Roma are both transnational peoples with robust journalistic practices. Although vastly different in socio-economic standing and relationship to the state, both groups choose to develop journalism and journalists to share their perspective of the world; and do so while remaining true to the distinction between journalism and propaganda. This requires access and ability to frame issues and actors, problems and solutions while maintaining professional journalistic standards. Media-both having one's "own" media and creating stories that appear in the "mainstream" media-is key to this practice. Saami and Romani journalists very clearly show there is a way to be objective without being neutral. By interviewing 45 journalists, journalism educators, funders, and evaluators across six countries, as well as examining primary source documents, I show that although emerging from radically different contexts, the Saami and Roma are both distinct nations stretching over two or more states-transnational-which allows, and indeed requires, a unique approach to journalism. I identify two distinct strategies in approaching the goals and practice of, "transnational peoples' journalism": nation building/speaking within and intervening/speaking outside.

“…Tulisan ini lantas berkontribusi pada kajian diskursus perpolitikan di Lingkar Arktik dengan menginklusikan perspektif masyarakat adat dalam memandang dinamika geopolitik yang terjadi di kawasan tersebut. Mengingat dinamika demografis masyarakat adat Lingkar Arktik yang juga cukup kompleks (Doods & Nuttal 2019b), tulisan ini lebih menekankan fokus kajian pada Suku Inuit sebagai salah satu masyarakat adat yang terbesar dan terprominen-bersamaan dengan Suku Saami (Plaut, 2012). Dengan mengutilisasikan Paradigma Kritis dalam Kosmopolitanisme (Delanty 2008;2014;Uimonen 2020) dan Geopolitik (O Tuathail 1999;Flint 2006)-beserta turunan terkaitnya, seperti Kosmopolitanisme Poskolonial (Go, 2012) dan Indigenous Geopolitics (Gibson, 2016), tulisan ini akan menelusuri bagaimana emergensi sosio-politik masyarakat adat yang dimanifestasikan dari koridor self-representation di tingkat bawah atau grassroot hingga terintegrasi dalam Global Governance-yang membuatnya dapat bersandingan dengan nation-states.…”

The Arctic Circle, without a doubt, has turned into a region of various complexities and holds a huge prominence in the contemporary world; especially if one link it with discourses regarding energy, resources, and maritime issues which have helped in triggering wide international contestations. These discourses, consequently, are getting more proliferated as the polar ice melting. However, the existing paradigm carried about within the research of the region tends to be ignorant of those whom are marginalized, yet distinctly significant to the shaping of the Arctic environment, under the shadows of nation-states and high politics agendas: the indigenous peoples. This article, therefore, would contribute to the political discourse of the Arctic by elaborating the perspective of indigenous people in regards of the ongoing dynamics. Utilizing Critical Cosmopolitanism as a normative basis, as well as taking the approach offered by Critical Geopolitics, this writing will try to deconstruct how the nation state’s prolonged hegemony impacting the Arctic Circle, displaying the significance held by indigenous communities, as well as factors leading to its heighten representation—with a more through focus on Inuit Peoples in regard of their population and prominence within the discourse. This article reveals that the shifting global paradigm which, in time, echoing Cosmopolitanism values, such as inclusivity, paves a way to the growing representation to the indigenous peoples.

“…By creating a true Arctic community, one that works at multiple levels of formality and through multiple channels, we can at last truly gain a voice (Plaut 2012). An openness to informal political organisation must complement a dedication to constructing strong institutional foundations for Arctic policymaking that reflects shared values and priorities.…”

The Arctic is increasingly subject to processes of global change, presenting new challenges to Arctic peoples. As the world becomes more aware of the importance of the Arctic, the concept of Arctic risk is becoming globalised, advancing technocratic discourses and solutions that suit metropolitan (rather than Arctic) interests. Arctic peoples require knowledge, research, and resources from outside the region yet must take care to avoid economic, educational, and political neocolonialism operating under the disguise of sustainable development. The changing Arctic, however, offers Arctic peoples new opportunities for collective action. We recommend a form of Arctic regional policymaking that works across multiple channels and levels of formality to foster genuine sustainable development that meets the needs of all Arctic peoples. Such collective action should reach across and beyond state borders, bringing together Indigenous peoples and other Arctic communities, as well as cultivating awareness of shared interests through emancipatory research and education.The Arctic is changing, whether we like it or not.Changes in the region's environmental, technological, cultural, and political conditions pose new challenges but also new opportunities. These are rooted in part how we -as the peoples of the Arctic -respond to change. We who have the greatest stake in the region must likewise take the lead in this new era, help form and formulate Arctic futures that serve the needs of our communities, cultures, environments, economies, and wellbeing. The peoples of the Arctic are awakening to the positive potential for change. In this chapter, 'peoples of the Arctic' and 'Arctic peoples' refers to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities residing in the Arctic
