This book focuses on the connections between mining activities,
knowledge politics and the valuation of landscape in selected case
sites in Russia, Greenland and Norway, whilst considering the
interrelated aspects of industrialized, natural resource based
development and environmental concerns in the Arctic. The case
studies in these three different countries reveals that there are
indeed multiple 'Arctics' - not least concerning the way extractive
industries are received and perceived - and that national
legislation, public awareness and economic alternatives are amongst
the variables that influence to what extent environmental
ramifications of mining are accepted. Through analysis of political
discourses, legal documents, grey literature, discussions in local
and national media and empirical material from in-site fieldwork,
the authors seek to understand how debates about mining reveal more
general conflicts and concerns about how to define sustainability.
The book contributes to the overall debates on both extractive
industries and development trends in the Arctic, and will as such
be of interest for both established scholars and students - as well
as policy makers and the public. The compilation of cases and
variety of analytical perspectives will further stimulate the
ongoing debates concerning the impacts of extractive industries on
communities - both in the Arctic and beyond.
