本論文は、ノルウェー政府とサーミ社会の間で発生した風力発電をめぐる紛争を事例に、持続可能性移行における政治的・権力的ダイナミクスと仲介者の役割を分析する。特に、公正な移行を阻む要素と、より説明責任のある脱植民地的アプローチの可能性を、「接触領域」の概念を用いて明らかにする。
English
This thesis examines wind energy conflicts between the Norwegian state and Sámi communities, focusing on how intermediaries mediate power dynamics in contested sustainability transitions. Using Pratt's concept of contact zones, it analyzes licensing, consultation, and protest processes, and conceptualizes practices of 'infrastructuring right relations' for more just and decolonial energy transitions.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では北海道・東北での風力発電計画とアイヌ民族の権利問題に示唆を与える。先住民族との協議プロセスや仲介者の役割に関する知見は、今後の国内エネルギー移行の公正性を高める上で参考になる。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global discourse on just energy transitions by foregrounding indigenous rights and decolonial perspectives in renewable energy conflicts. It offers a framework for analyzing intermediary practices in contexts of inequality, relevant to practitioners and policymakers dealing with contested transition projects worldwide.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a theoretical framework for studying intermediation and power in contested sustainability transitions, combining contact zones and infrastructuring concepts.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the need for inclusive consultation and recognition of indigenous sovereignty in renewable energy siting and permitting.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This thesis examines how politics and power shape sustainability transitions, focusing on intermediaries who mediate and negotiate across networks and institutions. While often depicted as facilitators of cooperation, intermediaries also operate within conflictual and unequal contexts. Using Pratt's concept of contact zones as sites of encounter and contestation, the research analyses wind energy conflicts between the Norwegian state and Sámi communities in the Fosen and Davvi cases. Through historical case analysis of licensing, consultation, and protest processes, it traces how regime, community, and ‘neutral’ intermediaries translate, constrain, or transform what counts as legitimate decision-making. Ethnographic study delves deeper into the work certain types of intermediaries who are part of re-directing transition trajectories. It conceptualises these dynamics as practices of infrastructuring right relations, offering insights into how more accountable and decolonial approaches could inform just energy transitions.
