Indigenous Rights and Entrepreneurship : Social Capital Formation and Modes of Social Regulation
In this paper we explore the relationship between business (most notably, corporations involved in the natural resource extraction industry) and the developmental aspirations of the world’s 800 million plus Indigenous People, whose communities are among the poorest and most marginalized in the world. To do so, we examine the emergence, evolution and growing importance of the rights of Indigenous people and the role these rights have played (and can play) in the development pathways available to Indigenous communities around the globe. To do this, we use regulation theory to explore the relationship between Indigenous rights and social capital formation as an under researched area when considering how Indigenous people pursue development, particularly through entrepreneurship We posit that the more localized the mode of social regulation (and greater the level of Indigenous participation in social regulation), the higher the level of social capital formation, but that the pathway upon which the local mode of regulation is based has a mediating effect on the entrepreneurial processes utilized by these communities. In exploring, this we will focus on modes of development involving Indigenous peoples’ participation in the modern economy through mutually beneficial alliances (MBAs) including joint ventures (JVs) with non-Indigenous organizations. A framework and illustrative examples are presented. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of this research with respect to understanding and predicting the development fortunes of Indigenous peoples globally
