Autonomies in Northern Canada and Russia: a comparative analysis

G. Wilson

Journal "Region: Economics and Sociology", 2006, vol. 3

Abstract: Despite their different histories, Canada and Russia face a number of similar challenges in terms of developing their northern regions. In addition, both countries must find ways to involve the indigenous inhabitants of their northern regions in the decision-making and governance processes. The article gives an analysis of the changing patterns of Northern aboriginal autonomy in Canada and Russia within their federal systems, considers the similarities and differences between models of autonomy in both countries. The author makes up a conclusion that while the Canadian and Russian federal systems seem to be moving in different directions, the political-territorial changes that are currently taking place in the northern regions of these two countries suggest a certain degree of institutional convergence.
