For decades, a post-Cold War narrative heralded a 'new Arctic',
with melting ice and snow and accessible resources that would build
sustainable communities. Today, large parts of the Arctic are still
trapped in the path dependencies of past resource extraction. At
the same time, the impetus for green transitions and a 'new
industrialism' spell opportunities to shift the development model
and build new futures for Arctic residents and Indigenous peoples.
This book examines the growing Arctic resource dilemma. It explores
the 'new extractivist paradigm' that posits transitioning the
region's long-standing role of delivering minerals, fossil energy,
and marine resources to one providing rare earth elements,
renewable power, wilderness tourism, and scientific knowledge about
climate change. With chapters from a global, interdisciplinary team
of researchers, new opportunities and their implications for Arctic
communities and landscapes are discussed, alongside the pressures
and uncertainties in a region under geopolitical and environmental
stress.
