Over the past thirty years we have witnessed a demand for resources
such as minerals, oil, and gas, which is only set to increase. This
book examines the relationship between Arctic communities and
extractive resource development. With insights from leading
thinkers in the field, the book examines this relationship to
better understand what, if anything, can be done in order for the
development of non-renewable resources to be of benefit to the
long-term sustainability of these communities. The contributions
synthesize circumpolar research on the topic of resource extraction
in the Arctic, and highlight areas that need further investigation,
such as the ability of northern communities to properly use current
regulatory processes, fiscal arrangements, and benefit agreements
to ensure the long-term sustainability of their culture communities
and to avoid a new path dependency This book provides an insightful
summary of issues surrounding resource extraction in the Arctic,
and will be essential reading for anyone interested in
environmental impact assessments, globalization and Indigenous
communities, and the future of the Arctic region.
