This book provides an introduction to the study of migration in the
circumpolar north, a region that includes the northern parts of
eight Arctic nations (Canada, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Norway,
Iceland, Greenland and the US). The Norths in each of these eight
countries share certain demographic and environmental
characteristics as well as an economic base dependent on natural
resource production. In much of the north, indigenous populations
continue to practice place-specific traditional economic
activities. This volume provides an overview of the causes and
consequences of migration behavior in the northern regions of most
Arctic countries and discusses policy issues that arise from the
recent northern migration experience. The divergent institutional,
economic, and policy histories in similar environmental
circumstances suggest that much can be learned by comparing and
contrasting the migration experience around the circumpolar north.
