Question

Four factors which determine nation building

Answer 1

Answer:

"Equipping First Nations with the institutional foundation necessary to increase their capacity to effectively assert self-governing powers on behalf of their own economic, social and cultural objectives." The study identified four core elements of a nation building model:

1) genuine self rule (First Nations making decisions about resource allocations, project funding and development strategy),

2) creating effective governing institutions (non-politicized dispute resolution mechanisms and getting rid of corruption),

3) cultural match (giving first nations institutions legitimacy in the eyes of their citizens), and the need for a strategic orientation (long-term planning).
