Governing Arctic Seas introduces the concept of ecopolitical
regions, using in-depth analyses of the Bering Strait and Barents
Sea Regions to demonstrate how integrating the natural sciences,
social sciences and Indigenous knowledge can reveal patterns,
trends and processes as the basis for informed decisionmaking. This
book draws on international, interdisciplinary and inclusive
(holistic) perspectives to analyze governance mechanisms, built
infrastructure and their coupling to achieve sustainability in
biophysical regions subject to shared authority. Governing Arctic
Seas is the first volume in a series of books on Informed
Decisionmaking for Sustainability that apply, train and refine
science diplomacy to address transboundary issues at scales ranging
from local to global. For nations and peoples as well as those
dealing with global concerns, this holistic process operates across
a 'continuum of urgencies' from security time scales (mitigating
risks of political, economic and cultural instabilities that are
immediate) to sustainability time scales (balancing economic
prosperity, environmental protection and societal well-being across
generations). Informed decisionmaking is the apex goal, starting
with questions that generate data as stages of research,
integrating decisionmaking institutions to employ evidence to
reveal options (without advocacy) that contribute to informed
decisions. The first volumes in the series focus on the Arctic,
revealing legal, economic, environmental and societal lessons with
accelerating knowledge co-production to achieve progress with
sustainability in this globally-relevant region that is undergoing
an environmental state change in the sea and on land. Across all
volumes, there is triangulation to integrate research, education
and leadership as well as science, technology and innovation to
elaborate the theory, methods and skills of informed decisionmaking
to build common interests for the benefit of all on Earth.
