This chapter discusses the combination of these factors ranging from natural‐resource transitions, historical legacies, and state developmental policies. It provides a general overview to understand the interplay of endogenous and exogenous factors that have influenced the historical evolution of the Greenlandic economy. Forfatter: Javier L.

Conditions‐, meanings‐ and reasoning analysis integrates societal and institutional structures in the conduct of everyday life of the citizens and in professional practice. The purpose of the analysis is to show the connections between institutional practice and the citizens’ everyday conduct of life with e.g. health problems, how the different practices influence each other, and what opportunities and challenges they include. By the use of examples from empirical research in patients’ perspectives on health practice in Greenland, it is shown how the method of analysis can be used on empirical material, what forms of knowledge and practice it analyses, and what kind of knowledge and action possibilities it generates.

This study evaluated empirically the existence of the environmental Kuznets curve in Greenland for the period 1970–2018. Using an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach, the results show evidence of a U‐shaped EKC in Greenland instead of the hypothesized inverted U‐shape. The findings indicate that Greenland had initially experienced a decoupling transition during an early development stage associated with structural conditions of a small subsistence economy. However, once the country began to expand its industry, the trend began to reverse, creating a positive and significant relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP per capita that are potentially detrimental to the Arctic natural environment.

The lockdown effectively took out all public social support and food supply for people experiencing homelessness in the capital Nuuk. This woke up Greenland’s social conscience in the form of a local NGO’s mobilization of voluntary social helpers. Luckily nobody in the homeless environment got infected and suffered needlessly. From a social policy perspective, we can take three experiences away from the pandemic. Firstly, a clear learning experience from this crisis was the need to redefine the broad societal understanding of Greenland a country with a universal welfare system. The second experience was that social work comes in many shapes and forms. Finally, the experience illustrated what could take place when the political and administrative system are too slow to react in times of crisis. It kickstarted the civil society step up and help fellow citizens. In the end NGO’s need to reports back and inform the public system to ensure better social emergency response in the future.

Ten years ago, he founded the UNROW Human Rights Impact Litigation Clinic, which has represented, among others, the indigenous people from the Chagos Archipelago in their lawsuit in United States federal court. The Chagossians were forcibly uprooted from their homeland in the Indian Ocean in the 1960s and 1970s by the United States and the United Kingdom to make way for the U.S. military base on Diego Garcia. lthough I hope there are some general lessons to be drawn from my remarks, I am going to focus today Tigar.

  • LAW, DOMINION, and EMPIRE in the CHAGOS LITIGATION* TT Arvind†
    THE SUBJECT AS A CIVIC GHOST: LAW, DOMINION, AND EMPIRE IN THE CHAGOS LITIGATION* TT Arvind† Abstract This essay examines the judicial dismissals of the Chagossians’ attempts to challenge their forced exile on constitutional principles and on human rights grounds. Although the decisions present formalist justification, in neither case did the law require the decision that the courts reached. The decisions represent, instead, another step in an ongoing shift in the way relations between individuals and states are conceptualised. At the heart of this shift lies the representation of the state as pursuing irreducibly complex purposes and, hence, of being infinitely vulnerable to disruption by the actions of individuals. The common good of the polity, in such a conception, is understood as requiring and justifying the subordination of individuals and groups to those systemic interests. The conferral of rights accordingly becomes a privilege of citizenship, to be withheld at the state’s discretion from particular classes of its subjects. In the Chagos litigation, these trends operated in a particularly extreme way, transforming the Chagossians into ‘civic ghosts’: subjects of the law deprived of key ingredients of civic personality. The result of the judicial acceptance of such a status, I argue, is the banalisation of both constitutional law and human rights law, and their withdrawal from a central component of the role they claim to occupy in the post-war constitutional state. INTRODUCTION: CONSTITUTIONS AND RIGHTLESSNESS In legal thought, constitutions are typically seen as sources of legal rights, which protect basic personal interests and secure certain minimum safeguards to all members of a polity.
