Contesting the Arctic : Politics and Imaginaries in the Circumpolar North, Hardback Book

Contesting the Arctic : Politics and Imaginaries in the Circumpolar North Hardback

Hardback

Description

As climate change makes the Arctic a region of key political interest, so questions of sovereignty are once more drawing international attention.

The promise of new sources of mineral wealth and energy, and of new transportation routes, has seen countries expand their sovereignty claims.

Increasingly, interested parties from both within and beyond the region, including states, indigenous groups, corporate organizations, and NGOs and are pursuing their visions for the Arctic.

What form of political organization should prevail? Contesting the Arctic provides a map of potential governance options for the Arctic and addresses and evaluates the ways in which Arctic stakeholders throughout the region are seeking to pursue them.
