Fishing rights struggles in Norway: Political or legal strategies

Author Søreng, Siri Ulfsdatter
Book/journal Journal of Legal Pluralism
Report no. 55
Year 2007

Why does the Sami Parliament choose the political channel and not the legal channel? And, why do the non-indigenous activists choose the legal channel and not the political channel?

These two initiatives to claim fishing rights have been parallel processes, independent of each other. As these stakeholder groups have had little impact on the recent dominant fishing rights discourse in Norway and the allocation of fishing rights, neither of them has achieved their stated goal. A reasonable question is whether both rights struggles would have more success through collaboration, and under what conditions are they likely to collaborate?
