Youth are usually not (yet) decision makers in politics or in
business corporations, but the sustainability of Arctic settlements
depends on whether or not youth envision such places as offering
opportunities for a good future. This is the first
multidisciplinary volume presenting original research on Arctic
youth. This edited book presents the results of two research
projects on youth wellbeing and senses of place in the Arctic
region. The contributions are united by their focus on agency.
Rather than seeing youth as vulnerable and possible victims of
decisions by others, they illustrate the diverse avenues that youth
pursue to achieve a good life in the Arctic. The contributions also
show which social, economic, political and legal conditions provide
the best frame for youth agency in Arctic settlements. Rather than
portraying the Arctic as a resource frontier, a hotspot for climate
change and a place where biodiversity and traditional Indigenous
cultures are under threat, the book introduces the Arctic as a
place for opportunities, the realization of life trajectories and
young people’s images of home. Rooted in anthropology, the
chapters also feature contributions from the fields of sociology,
geography, sustainability science, legal studies and political
science. This book is intended for an audience interested in
anthropology, political science, Arctic urban studies, youth
studies, Arctic social sciences and humanities in general. It would
attract those working on Arctic sustainability, wellbeing in the
Arctic, Arctic demography and overall wellbeing of youth.
