ABSTRACT
This chapter considers how Greenland, in its pursuit for independence, embraces the dominant hierarchical scaling that divides the world into distinct sovereign states, while the ICC is presented as questioning this scalar imaginary by focusing on Inuit transnational identity and land claims that precede the Western order. Despite these distinctions, however, both political actors are at times forced to moderate their scalar strategies as they contend with their own political limitations. The chapter offers pertinent, theoretically grounded insight into how scalar imaginaries are used in pursuing particular political aims. </abstract>
