This book analyses the possibilities and limitations that
sub-national actors face when developing diplomatic activities in
the Arctic region. Sub-national actors, such as civil society
groups and sub-national governments or administrations, have been
active in international relations for decades. They face specific
political and economic limitations on the international scene as
non-sovereign entities. This book investigates how these actors
have developed their international presence in the Arctic region.
It analyzes the diplomatic activities of states, provinces,
regional administrations, and multilateral forums made of
sub-national governments to offer comparative insights on the
strategies, interests, and activities of sub-national governments.
Alaska, Scotland, Quebec, Yakutsk, and Indigenous People's
organizations are among the examples covered in this book that have
forged bilateral and multilateral relations to promote and defend
their interests and values. Moreover, sovereign states are often
using these sub-national actors to further their own interests, as
exemplified in this book in how Russia and China harnessed the
potential of sub-national governments to align with their Arctic
policies. The volume will be useful to academics and graduate
students of Arctic politics, international relations, comparative
politics, comparative federalism, foreign policy, and global
governance.
