“…The global demand for natural resources and the Norwegian Northern policy supporting increased extraction of natural resources goes hand in hand (Angell 2010). Offshore petroleum production (Nilsen 2016), new mining (Nygaard 2016b) and wind power projects (Riseth and Lie 2016) are all examples of new industrial initiatives where a mix of national and global business actors are involved. These initiatives have an impact on traditional Sámi land and sea use in Finnmark.…”

“…The Nussir case in Kvalsund is already well-studied in the social science literature, both as a single case study and as a case compared with other mining projects in Norway or internationally (Bjørgo and Røyseland 2018;Hasselberg 2016;Nygaard 2016a;2016b;Syvertsen 2015). This rather broad literature gives important input to the Nussir case, but lacks emphasis on what we are primarily interested in here, namely how the developing relationship between new global industries and indigenous tradition and rights have a direct impact on Sámi thinking and economic policies within core Sámi institutions.…”

“…The local politicians are aware of the needs of the reindeer herders for future herding but do not consider the mine as the end of reindeer herding in the area. The local politicians have instead mainly focused on the project's role in facilitating new local jobs and possible new migration to the area (Nygaard 2016b;Nygaard, Carlsson, and Sletterød 2017). The new mine is estimated to give 150 new jobs, but with the limited available local workforce, employment must be based on migration or commuting.…”

“…The hearing process revealed disapproval from environmental and Sámi organizations. It was more forceful and organized from the reindeer herders than from the Sea Sámi in the area (Nygaard 2016b). The Sámediggi and Reindeer herders' organization used the new tools given by the Planning-and Building Act of 2009 to reject the proposal, mainly because of the adverse effect on reindeer herding in the area.…”

In this article, we analyse tensions in Sámi local communities meeting new industrial development. Indigenous communities experience outmigration and are in need of new business development and employment. Global extractive companies may offer new jobs, but the type and scale of these jobs put pressure on traditional indigenous livelihoods. The study underlines the importance of two core ideal type Sámi positionstraditionalist and moderniston future industrial development in rural Sámi areas in Norway. These positions are playing themselves out in different ways by the most important Sámi institutions; The Sámi Parliament (Sámediggi), The Finnmark Estate (FeFo) and Sámipopulated municipalities. The result is a deep-going institutional conflict around industrial development, making it very difficult to find compromises. To shed light on these conflicts and their implications, we analyse how different positions are institutionally visible in the ongoing battle concerning the Nussir mining case in the Sámi municipality Kvalsund in Northern Norway.

“…Implementasi CSR seringkali tidak mendapatkan respon positif dari masyarakat penerimanya, khususnya di negara -negara berkembang (Litmanen, dkk, 2016;Nygaard, 2015;Jenkins dan Yakovleva 2006;Kapelus, 2002). Hal ini disebabkan kurang tepatnya kebijakan program yang dilakukan karena tidak sesuai dengan apa yang diinginkan penerima sasaran (Abuya, 2016).…”

Csr, Suatu Refleksi Perencanaan Transaktif: Perspektif Filsafat Ilmu Pengetahuan

This study aims to provide an understanding of why CSR planning does not necessarily bring about community satisfaction even though it has been through participation in its planning, through a philosophical perspective of science. Using evaluative descriptive methods with secondary data sources such as literature and journals (current research), then represented through several focus discussions include: (1) Concept of planning and CSR through the perspective of science philosophy, (2) Ontological, epistemological and axiological aspects of complexity CSR, (3) Theoretical debates, empirical facts and discussions. Conceptual review through this literature review has found the complex connectivity between community and company implicated in understanding that CSR planning is not only participatory planning but also more to transactive planning. In here, CSR understanding tends to transactional, developing value in here is ”who will get something”, not only interpreted as community participation but tended to transactional.
