Institutional Boundaries and Regionalism: Social, Economic, and Political Regions in the Canadian Arctic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
When Nunavut was created in 1999 it was both the product of regionalism and an agent of further regional change within the Eastern Arctic. This essay explores what impact, if any, the new territory has had on two aspects of regionalism. First, it determines whether Nunavut allows us to distinguish among the predominantly Inuit communities in the Eastern Arctic and, if so, whether the new territory has improved material living conditions among Nunavut communities greater than in other Eastern Arctic communities. Second, the article explores regionalism within the new territory, exploring whether we can see regional variations both in the potential cultural benefits of the region and in levels of support for the territory. The article explains that while we do not see significant regional differences across the Eastern Arctic, we can see meaningful differences within the new territory, differences that may be attributed, in part, to the role of particular communities in the administration of public affairs in Nunavut.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
