This handbook brings together the expertise of Indigenous and
non-Indigenous scholars to offer a comprehensive overview of issues
surrounding the well-being, self-determination and sustainability
of Indigenous peoples in the Arctic. Offering multidisciplinary
insights from leading figures, this handbook highlights Indigenous
challenges, approaches and solutions to pressing issues in Arctic
regions, such as a warming climate and the loss of biodiversity. It
furthers our understanding of the Arctic experience by analyzing
how people not only survive but thrive in the planet's harshest
climate through their innovation, ingenuity and agency to tackle
rapidly changing environments and evolving political, social,
economic and cultural conditions. The book is structured into three
distinct parts that cover key topics in recent and future research
with Indigenous Peoples in the Arctic. The first part examines the
diversity of Indigenous peoples and their cultural expressions in
the different Arctic states. It also focuses on the well-being of
Indigenous peoples in the Arctic regions. The second part relates
to the identities and livelihoods that Indigenous peoples in Arctic
regions derive from the resources in their environments. This
interconnection between resources and people's identities
underscores their entitlements to use their lands and resources.
The third and final part provides insights into the political
involvement of Indigenous peoples from local all the way to the
international level and their right to self-determination and some
of the recent related topics in this field. This book offers a
novel contribution to Arctic studies, empowering Indigenous
research for the future and rebuilding the image of Indigenous
peoples as proactive participants, signaling their pivotal role in
the co-production of knowledge. It will appeal to scholars and
students of law, political sciences, geography, anthropology,
Arctic studies and environmental studies, as well as policy-makers
and professionals.
The Arctic-Barents Region is facing numerous pressures from a
variety of sources, including the effect of environmental changes
and extractive industrial developments. The threats arising out of
these pressures result in human security challenges. This book
analyses the formation, and promotion, of societal security within
the context of the Arctic-Barents Region. It applies the human
security framework, which has increasingly gained currency at the
UN level since 1994 (UNDP), as a tool to provide answers to many
questions that face the Barents population today. The study
explores human security dimensions such as environmental security,
economic security, health, food, water, energy, communities,
political security and digital security in order to assess the
current challenges that the Barents population experiences today or
may encounter in the future. In doing so, the book develops a
comprehensive analysis of vulnerabilities, challenges and needs in
the Barents Region and provides recommendations for new strategies
to tackle insecurity and improve the wellbeing of both indigenous
and local communities. This book will be a valuable tool for
academics, policy-makers and students interested in environmental
and human security, sustainable development, environmental studies
and the Arctic and Barents Region in particular.
