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.
This book examines emerging forms of governance in the Arctic
region, exploring how different types of state and non-state actors
promote and support rules and standards. The authors argue that
confining our understandings of Arctic governance to Arctic states
and a focus on the Arctic Council as the primary site of
circumpolar governance provides an incomplete picture. Instead,
they embrace the complexity of governance in the Arctic by
systematically analyzing and comparing the position, interventions,
and influence of different actor groups seeking to shape Arctic
political and economic outcomes in multiple sites of Arctic
politics, both formal and informal. This book assesses the
potential that sub-national governments, corporations, civil
society organizations, Indigenous peoples, and non-Arctic states
possess to develop norms and standards to ensure a stable,
rule-based Arctic region. It will be of interest to all scholars
and students working in the fields of Arctic Sovereignty, Security
Studies, Global Governance, and International Political Economy.
This book documents how the Arctic region has been represented in
the media: exploring how the media has framed the Arctic and
whether this has an impact on governmental decision-making and
public preferences. The Arctic region faces profound
transformations, due to global warming, spurring intense debates
about economic growth, environmental protection, and socio-cultural
development. At the same time, most of humanity will never come
face-to-face with the realities of the region: the media represents
our only opportunity to learn about what this evolving region
stands for. Recognizing that media coverage will tend to focus on
specific events and relay specific messages, this book scrutinizes
the nature of these messages to figure out how the Arctic region is
presented by different media outlets. Studying different types of
media, Landriault conducts an analysis of 628 newspaper articles,
110 televised reports, 9 magazine articles, and 404 tweets to
provide the first systematic and rigorous study of Arctic media
representations. This book will interest scholars, practitioners,
and students in Arctic studies, critical geography, political
science, and communication studies.
