The Eighth Amendment to the Irish Constitution elevated the right to life of the foetus
to the status of a constitutional right. The implications of this development for Irish
women are used in this thesis as a starting point to illustrate the need for a right to self-determination
for women as a social group. As a country with a democratic
government, and a codified bill of rights, Ireland is squarely within the liberal legal
tradition of rights. This background, together with the absolute prohibition on abortion,
and the powerful position of the Catholic Church as a reservoir of conservative beliefs,
makes Ireland a particularly strong example to illustrate the need for a right to self-determination
for women.
A constitutional right to self-determination for women as a social group would aim to
return to women the power to define and create the institutions and structures of society
under which they live, at both the public level of government and the private level of
family and the day to day lives of women. This thesis attempts both to delineate the
theoretical outlines of this right, and suggest how such a right can be used to engage
with law to advance the position of women.Law, Peter A. Allard School of

Poverty and underdevelopment plague millions of people in the world today. Interestingly, the 800 million people that are currently living on less than a dollar a day correlate very closely with the 750 million people who were under colonial subjugation in 1945. In an effort to understand how the disparities in development came about, the theory of self-determination will be defined and historically assessed. Through qualitative evaluation of the principle and history of self-determination and case studies on three key regions that have never known genuine self-rule, it will become clear that the doctrine of self-determination only ever existed in rhetoric. Resource trap theory will be applied to those who have been plagued by outside rule and a general assessment of the state of self-determination in the world will be given. Lastly, an argument for what right transcendently will be given based on the current state of affairs and on Kantian ethics.B.A.

This dissertation provides a systematic analysis of when an individual or group has a right to secede that is grounded in self-determination. Since the primary question in a secessionist conflict concerns the territory being contested, any analysis of the right to secede must provide an account of what grounds the existing state's claim to political jurisdiction over its territory. With this in mind, I examine consent and teleological justifications for the state and find both inadequate. The consent account posits that a political state is justified just in case it has the consent of its citizens. I reject the consent approach for its unacceptable implication that unlimited secession is permissible from all existing states. I then suggest that our disinclination to allow unlimited secession is instructive since it indicates not only that we believe a consentual justification is morally unnecessary, but also that a state is justified in virtue of the peace it secures and the rights it protects. This teleological justification ultimately proves inadequate as well, however, because it both restricts secessionist movements that seem permissible and allows coercive annexations that appear clearly unjustified. As an alternative to these extremes, I propose a hybrid model of political legitimacy. According to my theory, while individuals and small groups may not secede, a larger group may, provided it is of sufficient size to satisfactorily perform the functions that are necessary for a state to ground its claim to territory. Thus I conclude a political state should limit political liberty in a manner analogous to the way it legitimately limits the liberty to drive a car. Specifically, since many people would be harmed if there were no legal restrictions on who could drive, states institute age and health requirements limiting who may drive. Citizens not eliminated by these standards must also demonstrate a minimum threshold of competence by passing tests. In similar fashion, a state may initially restrict the right to secede to groups of a specific size, and then further require that interested parties demonstrate their ability and willingness to govern in a stable, efficient, and liberal manner.

This dissertation focuses on the development and testing of a conceptual framework for student motivation in mathematical discussion. Specifically, this document integrates Yackel and Cobbâ s (1996) framework with aspects of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), as described by Ryan and Deci (2000). Yackel and Cobb articulated the development of studentsâ mathematical dispositions through discussion by facilitating student autonomy, incorporating appropriate social norms and co-constructing sociomathematical norms. SDT mirrors these factors and describes a similar process of self-regulation through fulfillment of the individual needs of autonomy, social relatedness, and competence. Given the conceptual overlap, this dissertation examines the connection of SDT with mathematical discussion with two studies.
The first study examined the effect of student frequency of explaining mathematics on their perceived autonomy, competence and relatedness. Results of HLM analyses found that more frequent explanation of mathematics had a positive effect on studentsâ perceived mathematics autonomy, mathematics competence, and relatedness. The second study used a triangulation mixed methods approach to examine high school geometry studentsâ classroom discourse actions in combination with their perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Results of the second study suggest a higher perceived sense of autonomy is indicative of more engagement in mathematical talk, but a measure of competence and relatedness are needed for such engagement to be fully indicative of mathematical discourse. Rather, students who lacked a measure of perceived competence or relatedness would cease participation in mathematical discussion when challenged by peers. While these results need further investigation, the results of the second study provide evidence that indicates the necessity of fulfilling all three SDT needs for engagement in mathematical discussion. Evidence from both the first and second studies presented in this dissertation provides support for the conceptual framework presented.Ph. D.

My key question is whether the collective right to self-determination justifies a right on the part of liberal democracies to exclude outsiders from entering and settling within their territorial jurisdiction, from accessing citizenship or from participating in the formulation of their ‘internal’ decisions or policies. I approach the research through critically analysing six different accounts of the practice and value of democratic self-determination, which can be categorised as: liberal nationalist, identity liberal, liberal communitarian, multicultural/republican, cosmopolitan/discourse theory and agonistic. I argue that although democracy does not and cannot logically call for the extension of participatory membership to all those affected or coerced by the decisions of a state, self-determination is compatible with porous boundaries demarcating social membership and citizenship. The position I advance recognises the importance of clearly demarcated jurisdictional boundaries for facilitating democratic self-determination, but holds that the existence of those borders, and the value and practice of self-determination, which they protect, are compatible with open access to social membership and citizenship. In contrast to what has become a prevalent line of thinking with regard to the politics of membership in liberal-democracies, I argue that the value of free movement championed by liberalism is compatible with the value of self-determination championed by democrats. If valid, the upshot of my argument is that liberal-democrats should support the right to self-determination as non-interference for distinct political communities, but not the self-determination of their social membership and citizenship policies.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Self-determination is described as an innate predisposition to experience choice, develop our competencies and interact within our social environment. Nourishing self-determination empowers young people to achieve goals, be autonomous and feel socially connected. This is key in today’s society where youth unemployment and poverty are high, students from low economic backgrounds continue to experience lower academic success and deprivation is successive within families. Self-Determination Theory (SDT) emphasises the importance of satisfying basic underpinning psychological needs for life-long psychological growth and wellbeing. The three papers depict the research journey undertaken to explore the application of SDT in work to support young people. The systematic review focuses on interventions that develop self-determination. A quantitative approach was taken to synthesise the findings from eight papers. The papers suggest interventions targeting specific skills increased young people’s self-determination. However, the majority of studies used small sample sizes and narrow quantitative outcome measures over a short timeframe. Chapter 2 is a bridging document providing philosophical and theoretical context to explain how the systematic review led to the empirical research. Critical reflections on research methodology and researcher reflexivity are also explored. Chapter 3 presents the empirical research. The systematic review highlighted a gap in how young people’s underpinning psychological needs are met systemically. Eleven participants from a multi-agency service took part in an Appreciative Inquiry to explore their work with young people. Theory driven data analysis was applied to identify how young people’s needs are met. Findings indicate that professionals work in a variety of ways to meet underpinning needs of autonomy and competence. Further development into meeting needs at the systemic level and more ways to meet young people’s relatedness needs may be required. The research also highlighted that developing the self-determination of young people and professionals by simultaneously meeting their underpinning psychological needs may be effective.

The thesis examines, first, the juridicial nature of the right to self-determination as a human right, evolving primarily from the nationalist feelings of a group of people. The American and French Revolutions are examples of external and internal self-determination, respectively, developing from the nationalist feelings. Second, an examination has been undertaken of the basic reasons for a claim to the right to self-determination, out of which unequal treaties and forceful annexation have been argued to be the most important. Third, it has been submitted that the rights to self-determination and to resistance are intertwined, and that the right to resistance matures when all peaceful means of restoring the rights of a group of people fail. Fourth, the whole discussion of the right to self-determination and resistance is applied to Hawaii, which was annexed by the United States through a coercive and unequal treaty in the late nineteenth century. Thus, the thesis examines the validity of the Treaty of Annexation and supports the idea that native Hawaiians have a right to self-determination under international law, and never gave up their right to remain independent. Finally, the thesis recommends some measures to be adopted in order for native Hawaiians to regain their lost independence.

This work seeks to settle the doctrine of self-determination in international law. Drawing upon a selection of historical thinkers who have concentrated upon the value of freedom, a theory of political liberty, is developed. This is situated in relation to political history from the Age of Revolutions on. The development of the formal principle of self-determination is discussed. This reveals a doctrine lacking coherence. The philosophy of political liberty is proposed as a foundation for self-determination in law. The way this new approach manifests itself in practice, and its merits, are considered in relation to the politics of Crimea, with a focus on the immediate post-Soviet period of 1991-2002. In conclusion, a programme for implementation and refinement is offered. It is also noted that one could fashion a new approach to international law as a whole on the basis of the logic that is employed here to settle the doctrine of self-determination.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The claims of cultures and nationalities have presented liberal, democratic and republican theory with a persistent problem: on the one hand, the principle of peoples' self-determination requires a realm of autonomy to cultural and national groups to govern themselves in their own ways; one the other hand, the national and cultural models of the political community come into sharp tensions with the universal principles of individual rights and legal and democratic equality. The thesis addresses one aspect of this problem and explores the role of cultural and national claims in the definition and conception of the political community and in drawing its boundaries. I provide a critical discussion of the prominent approaches to this question in contemporary theories of liberal nationalism and liberal multiculturalism, and argue that the cultural notions of the political community which they espouse are inadequate. Drawing on earlier approaches to the claims of nationalities in liberal, republican and democratic political thought - as they emerge in Europe during the 1848-9 revolutions and in the peace treaties at the end of WWI - I retrieve and develop an alternative conception of the political community and its boundaries, which I call 'the political approach'. This approach, I argue, is better equipped to accommodate in theory the legitimate claims of cultures and nationalities, without falling into the traps of cultural essentialism, homogeneity and exclusion. At the same time, different from civic and cosmopolitan views, the political conception does not ignore or deny the public role and place of cultural and national identities.

Self-determination theory is a theory of personality and motivation that provides a perspective on the social-cognitive dimensions that underpin human behaviour. According to self-determination theory, there are three basic psychological needs that are universally fundamental for self-motivation and psychological well-being. The hypothesis of universal needs suggests that, when satisfied, autonomy, competence and relatedness are equally beneficial for all people, regardless of any potential individual differences in need strength (cf. Deci & Ryan, 1985; Ryan & Deci, 2002). However, other theories developed within personality and social psychology tend to view needs as learned and varied (e.g., McClelland, 1985; Murray, 1938). As such, there is some debate as to whether the needs described by self-determination theory are universal requirements, or whether they are learned dispositions that vary across individuals (Sheldon & Niemiec, 2006). Sense of coherence theory (Antonovsky, 1979; 1987) is another perspective on psychological health and well-being. The core dimensions of sense of coherence appear to share some similarities with self-determination theory. However, the theories have different traditional foci. Research in sense of coherence theory is traditionally concerned with how a person survives despite the chaos and stress of life (e.g., the absence of ill health). Conversely, empirical research in self-determination theory has historically focused on how basic need satisfaction facilitates positive psychological well-being and growth orientated behaviour. Because of the difference in traditional foci, research within the framework of sense of coherence and basic needs satisfaction has taken place independently. As such, the relationship between the two theories and associated well-being is yet to be addressed. Chapter 1 outlines the theoretical rationale on which the empirical chapters are based. Chapter 2 of this thesis provides evidence that the benefits of need satisfaction are not always equal; rather, they are dependent on their relative intra-individual importance. Studies 2 1, 2 and part one of Study 4 show that the motivation benefits associated with need satisfaction gained via a specific activity depend on intra-individual differences in need importance. Studies 3 and part two of Study 4 show that for the general population, the effects of need satisfaction on general well-being are equal for all people regardless of the importance attached to each need. Those data support Deci and Ryan’s (1985) universal benefits position. However, Studies 1 and part one of Study 4 show that when an individual’s sense of identity is highly related to their investment in a specific activity, the association between need satisfaction (via an important activity) and general well-being depends on the intra-individual level of need importance. Those data counter self-determination theory’s universal benefits position. Collectively, these findings support the position that self-determination theory’s basic psychological needs are not always universally required for motivation and well-being. First, Chapter 3 (Study 5) provided support for the credibility of a four-factor sense of coherence scale, with an additional dimension, termed relationality. Second, Study 5 provided evidence for a considerable conceptual overlap (60%) among the dimensions of sense of coherence and basic needs perspectives. Third, in a series of longitudinal mediation analyses, satisfaction of basic needs significantly mediated the relationship between sense of coherence and positive well-being, but failed to mediate the relationship between sense of coherence and the absence of psychiatric symptoms. In addition, those analyses showed that sense of coherence was directly associated lower levels of psychiatric symptoms. Collectively, these findings are in line with the origin of both theories, and suggest that the dimensional structure of sense of coherence more adequately explains the absence of psychiatric illness than basic need satisfaction, whereas basic need satisfaction only explains the presence of positive psychological well-being. Chapter 4 of this thesis discusses the results from the two experimental chapters (Chapter 2 and 3) in a broad theoretical context.

Retention of registered nurses (RNs) is essential to the sustainability of quality health care services. More than 55% of hospitals in the United States have not translated retention initiatives into a formal retention strategy. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between training programs, new hire onboarding processes, frozen positions, and nurse retention. The self-determination theory was the theoretical framework for this study. Secondary data were collected from the 2016 Texas Hospital Nurse Staffing Survey. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of the multiple linear regression were statistically significant, with F(3, 251) = .602, p > .001, R2 = .007. Although the model is significant, length of residency/internship/fellowship, length of new employee training, and total number of direct resident care RN positions frozen does not add significant predictive value to turnover. The results of the multiple linear regression produced correlation of the independent variables with the dependent variable of nurse turnover. Length of residency/internship/fellowship was positively correlated with RN turnover rate at .025, length of new employee training was negatively correlated at .072, and total number of direct resident care RN positions frozen was negatively correlated at .012. The findings of this study might influence positive social change by providing insights into length and content of programs and the effect of understaffing on retention of RNs. An increase in retention of RNs might contribute to improved hospital reputation, financial capability, and organizational balance leading to a positive effect on the economy, sustainability, and quality of life of the surrounding community.

Do the Palestinians deserve a state? To answer this question, one must first provide an account of collective self-determination (CSD) and when a group is entitled to it. This starts with looking at the origins of CSD, both to see if it truly is a right and, if so, what its nature is. I will argue that there is such a thing as a right to CSD, but due to its nature, it is not a universal right of all groups. Whether a group has a right to CSD depends on the conditions in which the group lives, and in this paper, I will tease out what these conditions are. The result of such an analysis will be a set of criteria by which one can judge whether or not a group is entitled to CSD, given the conditions in which the group lives. With this criteria, I will look at the Palestinian case in particular and determine whether or not the Palestinians have a right to CSD. If so, they have a right to an independent state, since any group that exercises true CSD can determine whether or not they choose to live in such a state.

Among recognized right for the peoples, there is a right of selfdetermination. It is possible to determine this possibility as a real right to decide their own legal status, their present, and future, more else it may mean the
formation of another country by their own will. On the one hand, this right is given to the people according to the general principles of International Public Law. On the other hand, its implementation may be really just according to an order accepted by the international community. Otherwise, it may violate one more imperative principle of International Law that is territorial integrity and inviolability of its borders. It is quite important to understand its content because nowadays, for example, because of the situation with the Crimean
Autonomous Republic, the misunderstanding of this principle leads to conflicts between states.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)This thesis is an inquiry into the possibility of Aboriginal autonomy under the regime of a state policy which commands self determination. Debate about policy has been dominated by Western scientific, political and professional knowledge, which is challenged by indigenous paradigms grounded in the Dreaming. A recognition of the role of paradox leads me to an attempt at reconciliation between the old and the new Australian intellectual traditions. The thesis advances the theory of internal colonialism by identifying self-determination as its current phase. During more than 200 years of colonial history the relationship between Aborigines and the state has been increasingly contradictory. The current policy of self-determination is a political paradox. Aboriginal people must either conform to the policy by disobeying it, or reject the policy in obedience to it. Through the policy of self-determination the state constructs a relationship of dependent autonomy with Aboriginal people. In a two-year (1994-95) action research project Kitya Aboriginal Health Action Group was set up to empower a local community to establish an Aboriginal health service despite opposition from the Government Health Service. In collaboration with local general practitioners and volunteers the action group opened a health centre. After the end of formal field work government funding and support for the health service was granted. The project illustrated the paradox of dependent autonomy. What appeared as successful community development was not development, and what appeared as destructive factionalism was empowering. Strategies for change made use of contradictions and paradoxes within the state. As an innovation in the practice of social change, the thesis begins the construction of a model for indigenous community action for self-determination in health.

Since 1991, the Israeli-Palestinian drama has shifted from the tragic course of war and violence, to a framework for peace. Israel's sovereignty is a fait accompli. The geo-political form of Palestinian self-determination is to be shaped by both parties, taking into account regional reality and international law.This study serves as a modest examination of the application of certain international law concepts in settling two conflicting national aspirations within a unique factual context.
The main theoretical definitions of self-determination and its legal status in international law are first reviewed, along with the socio-juridical aspect of nationhood. The analysis of those topics constitutes a starting point for discussing basic Palestinian legal arguments related to Israel's right to exist, as well as to the scope of Palestinian national entity.
The abandonment of "armed struggle" as a legitimate course of action, and of Palestinian legal claims justifying a hostile policy against Israel, are necessary pre-conditions for co-existence, in which each nation determines its political fate.
Another vital element for the realization of such a modus vivendi is the development of a relationship built on trust. A restrained application of Palestinian self-determination might be necessary in the interim. The complete expression of Palestinian free will is, for many, still a utopian idea. Its achievement is largely dependant upon the negation of Palestinian legal claims which are aimed at the invalidation of Israel as a legitimate, sovereign state.

The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine undergraduate military veteran students’ self-determination and academic effort in relation to their nonveteran college peers. A total of 734 undergraduates attending 4-year institutions in Texas completed a survey, including: 76 veterans (63% males, 37% females); and 658 non-veterans (26% males, 74% females). This research created a more holistic survey of self-determination by adding the 8-item New General Self-Efficacy Scale to the 10-item Self-determination Scale. The survey also included 13-items drawn from the National Survey of Student Engagement. A factor analysis with a varimax rotation of the items identified six factors: competence, autonomy, relatedness, reflection, learning strategies, and quantitative reasoning resulting in a significant Bartlett’s test of sphericity (2 (465) = 12324.53, p < .001). The first hierarchical ordinary least squares (HOLS) analysis results showed that undergraduate veteran students have statistically significant higher levels of self-determination than students without military experience with a small effect size (R2 = .022%, p < .001); however, a meta-analysis of self-determination revealed a large effect size of d = 1.33 between veterans (M = .81, SD = .12) and freshmen undergraduates (M = .65, SD = .12). The second HOLS analysis revealed that self-determination is a positively related, statistically significant factor in academic effort potentially adding 6.8% variance explained to the multi-factored general causal model of college impact (GCMCI).

In a two-year (1994-95) action research project Kitya Aboriginal Health Action Group was set up to empower a local community to establish an Aboriginal health service despite opposition from the Government Health Service. In collaboration with local general practitioners and volunteers the action group opened a health centre. After the end of formal field work government funding and support for the health service was granted. The project illustrated the paradox of dependent autonomy. What appeared as successful community development was not development, and what appeared as destructive factionalism was empowering. Strategies for change made use of contradictions and paradoxes within the state. As an innovation in the practice of social change, the thesis begins the construction of a model for indigenous community action for self-determination in health.

Motivation och hur den förhåller sig till autonomi är ett relativt utforskat område. Däremot finns det få kvalitativa undersökningar som utforskar frågan från ett musikaliskt perspektiv. Föreliggande studie undersöker hur elever förhåller sig till autonomi och hur den påverkar motivationen i musikundervisningen jämfört med dem övriga ämnen. Studien genomfördes utifrån self-determination theory. Metoden var kvantitativ i form av en pilotenkät där tjugosex körsångselever från en högstadiemusikklass deltog samt kvalitativ i form av halvstrukturerade intervjuer där sju av dessa elever intervjuades. Resultaten visar att behovet av kompetens ochsamhörighet utgör grunden som skapar plats för behovet av autonomi. Repertoar som är välanpassad till kören är viktig för att främja behovet av kompetens. En god kommunikation mellan elever och lärare, en god ledarstil samt möjligheten för elever att ge återkoppling till läraren är viktigt för att främja samhörigheten i kören. Resultaten visar även att körsångens fokus på kollektivet snarare än individen gör att behovet av autonomi inte prioriteras lika högt som behoven av samhörighet och kompetens samt öppnar upp nya möjligheter för att utmana elever. Dessutom visar resultaten att prestationsmål och en konkurrenskraftig lärandemiljö kan hämma autonomi och inre motivation, då eleverna styrs i dessa sammanhang av yttre motivatörer som prestation och konkurrens. I diskussionen diskuteras vikten av at medvetandegöra dessa parametrar som påverkar motivation samt hur man kan skapa goda förutsättningar för att främja elevers inre motivation.

Students' self-determination (SD) can positively influence their ability to make choices in planning for their future. The current study is a preliminary validity study on the most recent 21-item version of Shogren and Wehmeyer's Self-Determination Inventory: Student Report (SDI-SR). The SDI-SR was administered to 316 students (ages 13-22) and results were examined with exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results of the EFA on a 7-factor solution (TLI = 0.97; RMSEA = 0.04; SRMR = 0.02) aligned with the theoretical basis for the SDI:SR as well as results for the 7-factor CFA using simulated data (TLI = 0.913; RMSEA = 0.047; SRMR = 0.072 and CFI = 0.931); however, the CFA 7-factor solution results on the present study data were slightly lower than what is considered acceptable model fit (TLI = 0.883; RMSEA = 0.04; RMSR = 0.047). These results combined suggest that theory-based 7-factor solution does capture seven latent constructs in this data. A CFA was also conducted with a 5-factor structure based on factor loading from an EFA using the present research data resulting in a better model fit (TLI = 0.912; RMSEA = .075; SRMR = 0.046; and CFI = 0.940) as well as a CFA run with the simulated data resulting in an even better fit (TLI = 0.952; RMSEA = 0.040; SRMR = 0.064; and CFI = 0.967) than the 7-factor solutions. It appears the current study results aligned with five of the latent factors of SD.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis examines how the concept of 'self-determination' has featured in high-level international discourse at key moments in the 20th and 21st centuries. The exact language of 'self-determination' was internationalised in 1918 by Woodrow Wilson in the political context of the First World War, and in reaction to Lenin’s earlier references to the concept, which he had developed between 1903 and 1917. Subsequently, 'self-determination' has been cited in important international legal settings, as in the League of Nations’ Aaland Islands case (1920–1921), in the UN Charter (1945), during the UN discussions on General Assembly Resolution 1514 (1960) and the International Covenants on Human Rights (1966), and at the International Court of Justice proceedings on Kosovo (2008–2010). Together, these uses of 'self-determination' constitute the 'self-determination moments' of my thesis. Taking a hitherto unexplored approach to 'self-determination', this thesis builds on previous scholarship on the concept – produced primarily within the fields of international law and international relations – and examines it from the perspective of intellectual and international history. Applying the methodology of Quentin Skinner, the thesis shows that the significant international mentions of 'self-determination' have sought legitimation. Specifically, the thesis argues that the central international references to 'self-determination' over the past hundred years have sought legitimation by invoking two different ideas of freedom: a 'radical' idea of freedom, and a 'liberal conservative' one. Based on a wide-ranging analysis of archival materials, published primary sources, original interviews, and relevant secondary works, the thesis finds that the liberal-conservative idea of freedom has dominated the international appearances of 'self-determination' at the selected 'self-determination moments'. However, it is the radical idea of freedom that has repeatedly triggered the re-emergence of ‘self- determination’ as a meaningful concept in international discourse, and kept its potency alive.

Sovereignty and self-determination are two principles accepted by UN in the UN Charter and resolutions. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the tensions between sovereignty and self-determination principles in the UN and to increase understanding of how these tensions might have led to ambiguity in UN policy toward the West Papua case. The thesis identifies that there are tensions between those two principles in the UN resolutions. The tensions cause ambiguity in the UN when they are involving in self-determination cases outside the classical colonial context. The argument will be strengthened by conducting a single case study analysis on West Papua self-determination claim. As one of the self-determination claims outside the classical colonial context, the UN role when being involved in the case is argued to be lack of response and ambiguous. It concludes that the ambiguity of the UN when involved in the West Papua self-determination claim is resulted from the tensions between sovereignty and self-determination principles in the UN resolutions.

The purpose of this research is to see if people’s motivation can be developed by the practice of the method focusing. The motivational constructs used to reflect the participants sense of motivation is; autonomy and competence. Autonomy is in this study derived from the theory of self-determination and is concerned with the participant’s degree of expressing their personal or autonomous desires, choices and goals (Skinner & Edge, 2002). Competence is in this study, a construct derived from Self-efficacy theory, and is concerned with the participants’ degree of using their capabilities effectively (Bandura, 1997). I have used qualitative methods; more specifically I have been inspired by phenomenology, to explore the common essences of the effects of focusing on their sense of motivation. I have interviewed three participants which have at least completed two levels of focusing. They are thus considered familiar with the essence of focusing, which practically means spending time or listening to a bodily felt issue, experience or problem (Gendlin, 1996). The raw data were analyzed by using a phenomenological reduction which resulted in four themes. The three themes that caught the essence of their experience of motivation were; “I focus on what I can do in my career,” “I am clearer about me in relationship with other people,” and “I want to do this.” The degree of their motivation was discussed with literature from Albert Bandura (1997, 2001), Edvard Deci and Richard Ryan (1985, 2002). The final theme representing their experience of focusing; “I can read what is going on,” was used together with relevant literature from Eugene Gendlin (1996, 2003) to gauge the effect of focusing, on the participants’ sense of motivation. The Findings in this study indicate that there is a positive effect from the practice of focusing on the participants’ motivation. The participants seem to use their competence and autonomy better. Focusing seem to contribute in terms of; higher levels of self-aiding thoughts and feelings, a stronger inward relationship and a stronger control in terms of overcoming negative states and perceived challenges. The participants seem more inclined to act from personal or autonomous desires and goals and to use relevant competence effectively in social and occupational settings.

Studiens syfte: Vårt syfte är att med hjälp av en enkätundersökning och etablerade motivationsteorier ta reda på vad som motiverar konsumenter inför ett bostadsköp. Metod: Vi har använt oss av en kvantitativ metod och informationen har samlats in med hjälp av en elektronisk enkätundersökning för att sedan kopplas till Self Determination Theory (SDT). Resultat & slutsats: Resultatet analyserades med hjälp av statistikprogrammet SPSS. Faktoranalysen resulterade i 13 faktorer, vilket slutligen gav en bild av 6 olika typer av konsumenter som alla motiveras på olika sätt. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: SDT skulle kunna användas på fler konsumentområden såsom upplevelser, resor eller för att ta reda på varför vi köper olika typer av varor. Uppsatsens bidrag: Vårt examensarbete har bidragit med att identifiera de motiv som driver oss till bostadsköp. Studien har visat att SDT kan vara ett lämpligt verktyg för framtidens fastighetsmäklare och att resultatet kan vara användbart i fastighetsmäklarrollen.Aim of the study: The aim is to investigate consumers underlying motivation when they buy a house or a unit. This will be based on a survey and established theories of motivation such as Self Determination Theory. Method: We have used a quantitative method and the information was gathered from an electronic survey. Result & Conclusions: The statistical program SPSS was used to analyze the responses of the survey. To find the underlying correlations among the questions, we conducted a factor analysis. It resulted in 13 factors, which were narrowed down to 6 different types of consumers. Suggestions for future research: SDT can be used in different fields of consumer behaviour such as tourism and travelling, or to find out why we buy different types of goods. Contribution of the thesis: This thesis has contributed to the identification of the underlying motives behind buying a home. The study shows that SDT can be a suitable tool in marketing for future real estate agents.

The history of diplomacy and theory of political state shows that the modern international legal principle of self-determination, in the current state-centric formal international political system, regulates inter and intrastate relations. Therefore the international legal principle of self-determination contributes to the national and international order. The self-determination is highly contentious, irregular and lacks a degree of certitude. This causes a threat to international peace and security when overlooked, or implemented immoderately, and without goodwill. Such a jurisprudential disposition leads to doubts over the legal credentials of the political concept of self-determination, suggesting that it invokes moral imperatives. This view runs contrary to the findings of this research. Political and legal moderation is shown to be essential in the administration of international law and therefore that of self-determination due to three distinctive elements: the humanity, the political state and the formal state-centric international political system. The components and determinants of society, political, and legal rules are distinctive thus rendering each system sui generis. Therefore no legal precept serving all three distinctive domains of order can achieve certitude and regular application, found in dissimilar legal systems, and be subject to fair criticism arising from comparative analysis. Although international law is sui generis legal system, the current challenges of self-determination can be resolved by the deployment of administrative measures and values within formally empowered international political system. The hypothesis is that the conditionality of legitimate components and determinants of international legal principle of self-determination, in the current formal state-centric international political system, does not deprive its jural imperatives. The hypothesis is proven by regressive historical tracing of the conceptual developments at national levels, and at international level, upon its transmutation, once the formal international political system was established. Once the hypothesis is proven jural imperative of self-determination in all three domains of humanity, the political state and the formal international order will be self-evident. Secondly, if all three domains are unregulated by international jural imperatives, they would be pitted against each other’s interest, and compete to subjugate each other. The proof of the hypothesis leds to several sustainable conclusions. First the transcendental jural cohesion provided by the three principles; legitimacy, democratic accountability and rule of law, in the said three domains of humanity, the state and the formal international order, forms the theoretic fusion of their pursued ends, as well as being found in practice as state action in the current UN era. Second, self-determination also provides stability in diversity, and conflict of interests, aggravated by the constancy of change in national and international political systems. Third, self-determination when administered moderately and with goodwill, provides the ultimate solution to international peace and security by placing greater international responsibility on the individual, and collective of individuals, and the state and international community, within the formal international political system. Thus, international law may be gentle civilised after all.

Doctor of PhilosophyThis thesis analyses the concept of indigenous peoples’ right to self–determination within the international human rights system and explores viable avenues for the fulfilment of indigenous claims to self–determination through the design, implementation and evaluation of development policies. The thesis argues that development policy plays a crucial role in determining the level of enjoyment of self–determination for indigenous peoples. Development policy can offer an avenue to bypass nation states’ political unwillingness to recognize and promote indigenous peoples’ right to self–determination, when adequate principles and criteria are embedded in the whole policy process. The theoretical foundations of the thesis are drawn from two different areas of scholarship: indigenous human rights discourse and development economics. The indigenous human rights discourse provides the articulation of the debate concerning the concept of indigenous self–determination, whereas development economics is the field within which Amartya Sen’s capability approach is adopted as a theoretical framework of thought to explore the interface between indigenous rights and development policy. Foundational concepts of the capability approach will be adopted to construct a normative system and a practical methodological approach to interpret and implement indigenous peoples’ right to self–determination. In brief, the thesis brings together two bodies of knowledge and amalgamates foundational theoretical underpinnings of both to construct a normative and practical framework. At the normative level, the thesis offers a conceptual apparatus that allows us to identify an indigenous capability rights–based normative framework that encapsulates the essence of the principle of indigenous self–determination. At the practical level, the normative framework enables a methodological approach to indigenous development policies that serves as a vehicle for the fulfilment of indigenous aspirations for self–determination. This thesis analyses Australia’s health policy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as an example to explore the application of the proposed normative and practical framework. The assessment of Australia’s health policy for Indigenous Australians against the proposed normative framework and methodological approach to development policy, allows us to identify a significant vacuum: the omission of Aboriginal traditional medicine in national health policy frameworks and, as a result, the devaluing and relative demise of Aboriginal traditional healing practices and traditional healers.

This thesis reflectively and critically examines a series of research case studies initiated by a research-whānau. It explores the thinking, experiences and reflections of this research-whānau, as they worked to enhance the educational achievement of Māori students. Authorship of the thesis was undertaken by me (Mere Berryman). However, the methodology involved a collaborative, retrospective and critical reflection of research-whānau experiences and thinking, in the light of the research findings and experiences since the inception of this research-whānau in 1991. In the course of this work, the research-whānau have been able to explore what it has meant to put the principles of kaupapa Māori research into practice while working within a mainstream organisation (Specialist Education Services then the Ministry of Education). Our research work has involved repositioning ourselves from dependence on Western research methodologies to a better understanding and application of kaupapa Māori conceptualisations of research. The thesis begins by identifying mainstream and kaupapa Māori events that have historically and still continue to impact upon Māori students' educational experiences. These events provide the wider context for the work of this research-whānau at the interface of Te Ao Māori and Te Ao Pākehā, and for the 11 case studies that exemplify changes in our thinking and research practice over a period of 15 years. The thesis employs an indigenous (and specifically Māori) worldview as the framework for description, critical reflection, and theorising around these case studies. Common themes are collaboratively co-constructed then each theme is explained in relation to relevant Māori theory. The thesis concludes with the shifts in theorising and practice made by the research-whānau during the course of our work as we sought to contribute in ways that were more transformative and self-determining. We argue that these shifts in theorising and practice are also required of others if we are to change the status quo and contribute constructively to improving Māori students' potential.

The purpose of the present thesis was to explore the cognitive, affective and behavioural correlates of adults’ exercise goals using the goal content perspective forwarded in Self-determination Theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000). In Study 1, to facilitate theoretically consistent measurement of exercise goal content, the Goal Content for Exercise Questionnaire (GCEQ) was developed and validated in multiple adult samples (N = 1306). In Study 2, analysis of cross-sectional data from 410 adults showed that relative intrinsic goal content (assessed by the GCEQ) predicted variance in adaptive cognitive, affective and behavioural aspects of exercise. Commensurate the hypotheses of SDT, the effect of goal content on cognitive and affective (but not behavioural) variables remained significant above and beyond exercise behavioural regulation. The cognitive and affective effects of goal content were shown to be partially mediated by psychological need satisfaction. In Study 3, qualitative analysis of exercisers (N = 11) experiences of pursuing relative intrinsic/extrinsic goals revealed themes that advance the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the findings of Study 2. Extending the findings of Study 2, using a prospective design and objective behavioural assessment, in Study 4 (N = 101) a motivational sequence from goal content to engagement in health-enhancing bouts of exercise behaviour via behavioural regulation was observed. Collectively, the four studies provide a comprehensive analysis of exercise goal content from an SDT perspective. The findings highlight the utility of the goal content construct in understanding motivation for exercise and provide a foundation for theoretically aligned future research.

Major changes to the interpretation and application of the law of self-determination have taken place since the era of decolonisation. Notably, because most non-selfgoverning territories have attained independence, analyses have shifted by looking at the internal application of self-determination. Although competing theories have generally defined internal self-determination as conditions under which human rights, democratic representation and access to the right to development are realised, there is continued uncertainty about how the concept is applied. In this regard, questions emerge about the linkage between internal self-determination and external selfdetermination within the self-determination continuum and particularly, whether territorial minorities can secede based on claims of oppression arising from state failure to satisfy conditions associated with internal self-determination. This thesis proposes that a global governance approach is required for understanding and applying post-colonial self-determination. Unlike other analyses, it is argued that the conditions relative to internal self-determination are case-specific. This means that the application of internal self-determination will be influenced by specific legal and extra-legal considerations affecting the parties in the minority-state relationship. Significantly, the actual conditions of internal self-determination may look different in each case, even though a normative process of evaluation is applied. A global governance approach identifies and formulates obligations based on these legal and extra-legal considerations, and a process for territorial minorities to pursue external selfdetermination if internal self-determination is denied. When considering possible local, regional and international pressures affecting territorial minorities like economic inequalities, human rights abuses, and the adverse effects of globalisation, is important to appreciate that obligations cannot be defined by pre-set criteria, but are derived from multi-party dialogue and the identification of specific rights, roles and responsibilities belonging to territorial minorities, states and the international community.

Severe asthma affects around 3-10% of the asthma population. Whilst most severe asthma research has been devoted to understanding pathophysiology, biomarkers and testing novel treatments, there is a dearth of research focusing on patients’ experiences of self-management of severe asthma. To improve health outcomes for patients with severe asthma, treatment guidelines emphasise the importance of patient-centredness, shared decision making and self-management. Research has demonstrated that understanding people’s attitudes, beliefs and values can impact behaviours and health outcomes. Greater attention is needed to understand the patients’ experiences and perspective of living with this condition, which may shape opportunities for directing patient-centred health interventions. Self-determination theory represents a broad framework to explain health related behaviours and motivation on an individual level. According to this theory, people have three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence and relatedness. Drawing on these constructs a qualitative research design was used to investigate lived experiences and behaviours from the perspective of people living with severe asthma. Collectively, the findings provide new understandings of the lived experience of severe asthma and show the current biomedical approach to supporting patients is disconnected from the experiences narrated by participants.

Political theories often assume that there is an ideal political system applicable to all individuals. In recent years, however, there has been renewed interest in the ideal of political self-determination, according to which human beings, as individuals and as groups, should be free to control their own destiny, practice their own distinctive ways of life, and express commitment to their own values through traditions, law, and cultural practices. This ideal implicitly challenges the assumption that there is an ideal political system applicable to all groups. This dissertation examines the challenge to that assumption and argues that in the ideal it is morally appropriate, within certain specified limits, for different groups to be governed by different legal and/or political systems. In addition, this dissertation examines the implications of the content of legal rules being determined by decentralized political units. At least for some issues, it is argued, there are benefits to such organization. The primary arguments for the moral advantages of a variety of legal and political systems draw upon an examination of four pluralisms: judgment, individual, cultural, and value. I argue that a close examination of the implications of these pluralisms shows that in designing the best political system for a particular group of people, these pluralisms must be taken into account. Taking these pluralisms into account, however, requires developing different political systems for different groups of people. Examining the four pluralisms will involve evaluating John Rawls' recent work in Political Liberalism, a partial examination of an important criticism made by communitarians against liberalism, an evaluation of John Stuart Mill's important argument regarding the significance of options, as well as an examination of Will Kymlicka's work on culture. I also examine several difficulties that these consequences of the ideal of political self-determination raise.
