This is the topic of a new paper of mine avaiable for early view and scheduled for publication in the September 2017 issue of the academic journal, Canadian Public Administration.
Here's the abstract:
Several years ago, I wrote an op ed piece in The Record (see the lispop post here) that suggested Bitcoin-like technology could be a powerful tool for advancing Indigenous self-determination and self-government in Canada.
That's the research question of a new paper that Zac Spicer, Michael McGregor, and I have published in the latest issue of Electoral Studies.
Should all political science research with Indigenous communities and on Indigenous topics involve formal research partnerships? The push from ethics boards, granting agencies, and the literature is for the answer to be yes.
