Description
Becoming Nations Again explores the multifaceted path that tribal nations have taken in pursuit of self-determination and political independence. Drawing on economic theory and historical analysis, Adam Crepelle examines how Indigenous communities have navigated complex legal, economic, and social systems to reclaim sovereignty and establish self-governing institutions.
The book investigates the institutional choices available to tribal nations and the mechanisms through which they can achieve meaningful autonomy. Crepelle combines rigorous economic analysis with historical narratives to demonstrate how tribal peoples have resisted external control and worked toward building sustainable, independent societies. This work is particularly relevant for understanding contemporary Indigenous governance and the ongoing struggle for self-determination across North America.
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Economics, Choice, and Society series, this volume contributes to broader conversations about institutional economics, Indigenous rights, and the relationship between economic policy and political freedom.
