This book is based on presentations from the Conference 'Arctic
Marine Resource Governance' held in Reykjavik Iceland in October
2015. The book is divided into four main themes: 1. Global
management and institutions for Arctic marine resources 2. Resource
stewards and users: local and indigenous co-management 3.
Governance gaps in Arctic marine resource management and 4.
Multi-scale, ecosystem-based, Arctic marine resource management'.
The ecosystem changes underway in the Arctic region are expected to
have significant impacts on living resources in both the short and
long run, and current actions and policies adopted over such
resource governance will have serious and ultimately irreversible
consequences in the near and long terms.

The Mexican -- United States border represents much more than the
meeting place of two nations. Our border communities are often a
line of first defense -- absorbing the complex economic,
environmental and social impacts of globalization that ripple
through the region. In many ways, our success or failure in finding
solutions for the environmental, social and economic issues that
plague the region may well define our ability to meet similar
challenges thousands of miles from the border zone. Border
residents face the environmental security concerns posed by water
scarcity and transboundary air pollution; the planning and
infrastructure needs of an exploding population; the debilitating
effects of inadequate sanitary and health facilities; and the
crippling cycle of widespread poverty. Yet, with its manifold
problems, the border area remains an area of great dynamism and
hope -- a multicultural laboratory of experimentation and
grass-roots problem-solving. Indeed, as North America moves towards
a more integrated economy, citizen action at the local level is
pushing governments to adapt to the driving forces in the border
area by creating new institutional arrangements and improving old
ones. If there is one defining feature of this ground-up push for
more responsive transboundary policies and institutions, it is a
departure from the closed, formalistic models of the past to a more
open, transparent and participatory model of international
interaction.
