One critical factor concerning indigeneity and its characteristics is its acceptance and conceptualization by the very representatives of indigenous groups on one side, and the analysis by scholars on the other side. It is an ideological and social construct recognised by those who claim the status, by anthropologists who support their cause and no doubt by the educated public at large. Some anthropologists tend to criticise it for its essentialism and romanticism. Indigenous scholars offer other ideas. In their critique of Western notion of science and due to the long-term experience of applied science and uselessness of research for their communities, including unethical behavior of researchers, these critics are accepted as the continuance and dominance of the concept of Western science with its all-problematic issues.

Analytical criteria are sometimes considered to be out of place in a critique of the concept of indigeneity. According to Means, once everyone on this earth was indigenous and the whole world lived in communities and on the land. He focuses on believing things — the dominant society in industrialized world is male and Eurocentric and based on concepts which come from the head. On the other hand, indigenous peoples are governed by feelings, coming out of the heart Means. For indigenous scholars, such as Churchill, Smith and Alfred, indigeneity is a matter of fact, of sharing the same experiences of communities with traditional knowledge based on strong ties to land, and a shared experience of colonization.

Further, it is a hope for communities suffering because of colonialism and imperialism and their impacts on everyday lives.

Smith reflects that there are different notions of concepts of the needs of indigenous and non-indigenous peoples, including research activities and the stress of importance. What is more important than what alternatives indigenous peoples offer the world is what alternatives indigenous peoples offer each other Smith Although they tend to differ from the Third World scholars in their particular experience of colonialism, their ideas are limited mainly because their concepts are closely tied with the notion and experience of racism in a similar way such as those of the Third World.

The experience with the form of colonialism experienced in Central and Eastern Europe could bring new ideas about the whole issue. Public opinion is a vital player in forming the indigenous identity and the dependence on the supporters of indigenous movements is a very crucial component Niezen.

Through the global process of creating the indigenous identity, groups that have traditionally been very distinctive, but not at all without any contact Wolf , are pushed into one declared and internationally-recognized identity. It identifies a boundary of membership and experience that can be crossed only by birth or hard-won international recognition. It links local, primordial sentiments to a universal category. As Clifford demonstrated on the example of the Pacific, we should be wary of binary oppositions Clifford The construction of pan-Maori ethnic identity has not, however, replaced previous forms of identity formation among Maori, notably whanau family , hapu subtribe and iwi tribal affiliations.

Rather, it has emerged as an additional form of identity that both accommodates and is in tension with more particularistic and traditional affiliations. Similar way of identification describes Alfred on an example of Mohawks from Kahnawake, that includes localised Kahnawake, national Mohawk, Iroquois Haudenosaunee and Native identity Alfred. Declaration on Indigenous Peoples Rights ratified in could help in protection of these groups. As Biolsi points out:. It seems that the formerly very important geographical boundaries and the sense of local identity of these groups have been considerably changed.

Geographical borders remain valid for the land rights issues and issues of economical development of the distinct territory, but with the advent of the Internet and modern technologies, these borderlines do not tie people to a specific place and also re create other forms of notions of spatial identity. The notion of the indigenous identity is also shared and spread by the indigenous media, TV and radio. These focus on specific communities by means of specific programs used for teaching the languages and maintaining the cultural traditions and customs.

These stereotypes do not involve only the non-indigenous topics but include also stereotypes pertaining to themselves. Doing this, they help to reproduce and maintain the stereotypes about the indigenous groups.

Although Sylvain argues that one of the distinctive features of the indigenous movement is that it is formed from the bottom-up, it seems to me that there is also a noticeable top-down process Sylvian Is there any particular group or coalition that could be considered the most successful in the promotion of the characteristics of the united indigenous identity?

Is there a particular group from a particular area or areas dominating in this process? I would also like to thank them for providing me with an access to articles from academic journals, because the access to this basic resource for academic work is as a result of insufficient university funds in the Czech Republic very limited.

Summary "This book rigorously analyzes popular hypotheses regarding globalization's effect on state sovereignty from a broad social sciences perspective. Using empirical evidence the authors suggest that globalization's multilevel threats to state sovereignty have been overestimated. In most instances globalization is likely to generate pressure for increased government spending while only one form of market integration - foreign direct investment by multinational enterprises - appears to increase any feeling of economic insecurity.

Also contrary to popular perception, the net effect of IMF conditionality may be positive, limits on state sovereignty by multilateral development banks are not inevitable, and the WTO is not necessarily a threat to state sovereignty. Furthermore, globalization is likely to increase the risk of secessionism only in very specific conditions and while some self-determination movements may find globalization useful, on the whole countries with more open economies appear less likely to house self determination movements and are more likely to implement policies of fiscal centralization.
