“…e fact that the people have to de ne themselves as distinct from their neighbors has resulted in 44 peoples claiming to be indigenous. e Sakha republic (Yakutia), the Khanty-Mansi, the Yamolo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs, the Sakhalin Oblast, and the Primorskiy Krai, all entities having lower than republic status, have claimed land rights based on their indigenous status (Fondahl and Poelzer 2003).…”

T his article will discuss con ict resolution practices, approaches, and techniques used by indigenous populations living in the Arctic. ere are four sections to this article. e rst section examines the de nitions of con ict, the use of alternative dispute resolution, and how cultural norms in uence con ict resolution techniques. e second section presents an overview of the general tendencies of con ict resolution techniques and approaches of indigenous populations worldwide. e general practices and approach to con ict resolution will be contrasted with the overall approach of Western legal systems.In the third section of this article, the authors discuss some speci c con ict resolution techniques and processes used by indigenous peoples in the Arctic. Included in this section will be the con ict resolution approaches used by the Inuit, the Aleut, and the Saami. One or more principles will be drawn from each con ict resolution practice or technique examined to better inform practitioners in process design and application. Examples of the types of con icts experienced and process changes that can be included will also be discussed.

“…If we look at the development of indigeneity politics in Russia over the past 20 years, we see first an increasing awareness of indigenous identities (encouraged by the opening up of Russia to international influences and by the inauguration of the first UN Decade of Indigenous Peoples from 1994-2003) followed by a flurry of political and legal activity from the mid-1990s into the early years of this decade (for a good overview of the types of legislation passed in the 1990s, see Arakchaa and Sumina 1999) and culminating in the passage of three major laws intended to establish a legal framework for protecting indigenous peoples' rights (see, inter alia, Osherenko 2001;Fondahl and Poelzer 2003;Donahoe and Halemba 2006).…”

Within the Russian Federation there are nearly 200 recognized "nationalities," approximately 130 of which could claim to be "indigenous." However, only 45 peoples are officially recognized as "indigenous small-numbered peoples of the Russian Federation" and thereby qualify for the rights, privileges, and state support earmarked for indigenous peoples. This status is conditioned upon a maximum group size of 50,000. While experts insist that this numerical criterion is provisional and without serious political implications, our fieldwork demonstrates that it has become a social fact that cannot be ignored, especially in light of the 2002 All-Russia Census and the release of its results in 2004. This numerical benchmark forces a dichotomization into small-numbered versus non-small-numbered peoples and creates a peculiar type of identity politics based on ethnic-group size. The "indigenous small-numbered" status is also conditioned upon a set of overlapping but often contradictory residency requirements. Using case studies from southern Siberia and the north of European Russia, we document the dynamic interplay between these dimensions of identity and the opportunities for maneuvering in the competition for the benefits that attach to certain categories. However, indigenous peoples who engage in such identity politics run the risk of becoming "incarcerated" within the confines of those categories.

“…Pro-development lobbying and the power of President Putin also play a role (see below; also Spiridonov, in this issue; and Fondahl and Sirina, in this issue). It is also worth noting that the legislative framework for clarifying indigenous land and resource rights remains inadequate, a factor that hinders effective impact assessment and regulation of industrial activity on lands used for traditional livelihood activities (Fondahl and Poelzer 2003;Stammler 2005c;Wilson 2002a; see also articles by Murashko and Spiridonov in this issue).…”

This introduction provides an overview of academic research and current practice relating to stakeholder dialogue around oil and gas development in the Russian North, Siberia and the Russian Far East. We discuss the two main strands of analysis in this special issue: (a) regulation and impact assessment; and (b) relationshipbuilding in practice, with a particular focus on indigenous communities. We argue that an effective regulatory framework, meaningful dialogue, and imaginative organization of stakeholder relations are required to minimize negative impacts and maximize benefits from oil and gas projects. Self-interest, mistrust, and a lack of collective agency frequently lead to ineffective planning and heightened tensions in relations. We identify lessons to be learned from partnerships and initiatives already established in Sakhalin and Western Siberia, despite the lack of a stable legal framework to govern relations. This issue focuses on the academic-practitioner interface, emphasizing the importance of practical application of academic research and the value of non-academic contributions to academic debates.
