The divergent scalar strategies of the Greenlandic government and the Inuit Circumpolar Council
Abstract
This chapter considers how Greenland, in its pursuit for independence, embraces the dominant hierarchical scaling that divides the world into distinct sovereign states, while the ICC is presented as questioning this scalar imaginary by focusing on Inuit transnational identity and land claims that precede the Western order. Despite these distinctions, however, both political actors are at times forced to moderate their scalar strategies as they contend with their own political limitations. The chapter offers pertinent, theoretically grounded insight into how scalar imaginaries are used in pursuing particular political aims.

Local and regional actors and organizations leveraged arguments and strategies honed within larger Indigenous movements, such as those led by the ICC, and fought to ensure that the centrality of whaling to identity and sovereignty was not lost in numeric discussions of quotas, food security and whale numbers.
“Looking back over this history of cross-level institutional navigation, local and regional actors and organizations leveraged arguments and strategies honed within larger Indigenous movements, such as those led by the ICC (Gerhardt, 2017;Sidorova, 2019;Young, 1996), and fought to ensure that the centrality of whaling to identity and sovereignty was not lost in numeric discussions of quotas, food”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
