This volume explores the governance of the transforming Arctic from
an international perspective. Leading and emerging scholars in
Arctic research investigate the international causes and
consequences of contemporary Arctic developments, and assess how
both state and non-state actors respond to crucial problems for the
global community. Long treated as a remote and isolated region,
climate change and economic prospects have put the Arctic at the
forefront of political agendas from the local to the global level,
and this book tackles the variety of involved actors, institutional
politics, relevant policy issues, as well as political imaginaries
related to a globalizing Arctic. It covers new institutional forms
of various stakeholder engagement on multiple levels, governance
strategies to combat climate change that affect the Arctic region
sooner and more strongly than other regions, the pros and cons of
Arctic resource development for the region and beyond, and local
and trans-boundary pollution concerns. Given the growing relevance
of the Arctic to international environmental, energy and security
politics, the volume helps to explain how the region is governed in
times of global nexuses, multi-level politics and
multi-stakeholderism.
The Arctic is one of the world's regions most affected by cultural,
socio-economic, environmental, and climatic changes. Over the last
two decades, scholars, policymakers, extractive industries,
governments, intergovernmental forums, and non-governmental
organizations have turned their attention to the Arctic, its
peoples, resources, and to the challenges and benefits of impending
transformations. Arctic sustainability is an issue of increasing
concern as well as the resilience and adaptation of Arctic
societies to changing conditions. This book offers key insights
into the history, current state of knowledge and the future of
sustainability, and sustainable development research in the Arctic.
Written by an international, interdisciplinary team of experts, it
presents a comprehensive progress report on Arctic sustainability
research. It identifies key knowledge gaps and provides salient
recommendations for prioritizing research in the next decade.
Arctic Sustainability Research will appeal to researchers,
academics, and policymakers interested in sustainability science
and the practices of sustainable development, as well as those
working in polar studies, climate change, political geography, and
the history of science.
