This book investigates the multifaceted nature of change in today's
Nordic Arctic and the necessary research and policy development
required to address the challenges and opportunities currently
faced by this region. It focuses its attention on the recent
efforts of the Nordic community to create specialized Centers of
Excellence in Arctic Research in order to facilitate this process
of scientific inquiry and policy articulation. The volume seeks to
describe both the steps that lead to this decision and the manner
in which this undertaking as evolved. The work highlights the
research efforts of the four Centers and their investigations of a
variety of issues including those related to ecosystem and wildlife
management, the revitalization resource dependent communities, the
emergence of new climate-born diseases and the development of
adequate modeling techniques to assist northern communities in
their efforts at adaptation and resilience building. Major
discoveries and insights arising from these and other efforts are
detailed and possible policy implications considered. The book also
focuses attention on the challenges of creating and supporting
multidisciplinary teams of researchers to investigate such concerns
and the methods and means for facilitating their collaboration and
the integration of their findings to form new and useful
perspectives on the nature of change in the contemporary Arctic. It
also provides helpful consideration and examples of how local and
indigenous communities can be engaged in the co-production of
knowledge regarding the region. The volume discusses how such
research findings can be best communicated and shared between
scientists, policymakers and northern residents. It considers the
challenges of building common concern not just among different
research disciplines but also between bureaucracies and the public.
Only when this bridge-building effort is undertaken can true
pathways to action be established.
