The Routledge Handbook of Arctic Security offers a comprehensive
examination of security in the region, encompassing both
state-based and militarized notions of security, as well as broader
security perspectives reflecting debates about changes in climate,
environment, economies, and societies. Since the turn of the
century, the Arctic has increasingly been in the global spotlight,
resulting in the often invoked idea of "Arctic exceptionalism"
being questioned. At the same time, the unconventional political
power which the Arctic's Indigenous peoples hold calls into
question conventional ideas about geopolitics and security. This
handbook examines security in this region, revealing contestations
and complementarities between narrower, state-based and/or
militarized notions of security and broader security perspectives
reflecting concerns and debates about changes in climate,
environment, economies, and societies. The volume is split into
five thematic parts: * Theorizing Arctic Security * The Arctic
Powers * Security in the Arctic through Governance * Non-Arctic
States, Regional and International Organizations * People, States,
and Security. This book will be of great interest to students of
Arctic politics, global governance, geography, security studies,
and International Relations.

This book reports on research about the class and status identities
exhibited by different levels of information technology employees
in St John's, Newfoundland, Canada. An important finding of this
research is that significant differences exist in the organization
of work and the labour market situations experienced by different
levels of IT employees. This study also revealed a strong
relationship between the objective class position of interviewees
and attitudes that can form the basis of rudimentary class
consciousness. However, these fundamental bases of class
consciousness are not developed into a coherent class
consciousness. As a result, class consciousness was found to be
fragmentary among these employees.In terms of status, the majority
of interviewees in each of the occupational stratum believe that
descendants of the merchant class who controlled the fishery sector
in the 19th century possess high status positions because of the
power and wealth they had accumulated over the years. Another
finding is status inequality between people originating from the
outports compared to those from St John's. Hence local factors
appear to play an important role in identity formation.
