Abstract
Abstract This article aims to analyse the meaning of religious and humanitarian approaches in the field of international cooperation, setting out from a study of Norwegian cooperation with indigenous peoples. In so doing it describes and evaluates the differences between missionary and philanthropic trends in the debates on indigenous rights, their contribution to the establishment of contemporary Norwegian national values and state building, and their role as key elements in the control and administration of territories and populations. The article concludes by suggesting a number of research directions connected to the understanding of international cooperation as a space for creating a political agenda connected both to policy proposals and to the building of social movements.
Highlights
In this article I adopt the opposite approach to the one used previously in my research on Norwegian international cooperation with indigenous peoples, where I set out from what was observable in Brazil to construct my initial working hypotheses
This research largely involved piecing together a jigsaw of the actors involved in Norwegian cooperation with indigenous peoples, since there was not a single work in the available bibliographic sources to have examined this topic as a whole
The event included presentation of the findings of a technical report commissioned by non-governmental organizations, research centres and university departments involved in Norwegian international cooperation with indigenous peoples
Summary
In this article I adopt the opposite approach to the one used previously in my research on Norwegian international cooperation with indigenous peoples, where I set out from what was observable in Brazil to construct my initial working hypotheses.
