| Title | One Nation Spread across Four Counties: The Role of Saami Youth Organization in Transnational Saami Nation-Building |
| Summary | This thesis looks as the role civil society organizations in one county play in the nation-building process of transnational nations. Do these organization contribute to the establishment of a transnational nation, or do they only participate in nation-building actives within a segment of the nation confined by international borders? Qualitative analysis of textual document as well as a small number of interviews were conducted to collect data from publically available sources. The comparative analysis shows that feeling of cultural unity and a common collective identity as one peoples are not translated into joint mobilization, expression of solidarity or joint actions. For the most part, all three organizations choose to cooperate with similar type of actors, raise the similar issues and provide comparable services. While these communalities could be a good starting point for cooperation, all three organization focuses their energy on either the cooperation or action within the state or on international political and cultural forums. |
