• TITLE: The Prospects of Independence for Greenland, between Energy Resources and the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (with Some Comparative Remarks on Nunavut, Canada)

  AUTHORS: Mauro Mazza

  KEYWORDS: Reinforced Autonomy of Greenland, Exploitation of Natural Resources (Oil, Gas, Uranium), Rights of the Inuit People

  JOURNAL NAME: Beijing Law Review, Vol.6 No.4, December 16, 2015

  ABSTRACT: In a comparative view of the Arctic, Greenland is the only autonomous territory that has the possibility of legally reaching the status of full independence. The funding of the increasing autonomy and, ultimately, of the independence of Greenland is acquired largely from the revenues of mining operations and, more generally, from the exploitation of natural energy sources. However, one must consider the special conditions of the indigenous Inuit, torn between the desire to participate in the development of the Arctic regions, with the related socio-economic benefits, and the willingness not to abandon the traditional lifestyles that are the basis of their indigenous culture.
