Description
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.
"These respected Arctic scholars provide valuable insights into the complexity of the timely and important subject of Arctic governance, providing thoughtful discussions of the political, economic, legal and cultural dimensions of governance at local, subnational, national and regional levels." - Elizabeth Riddell-Dixon, professor emerita, Western University, Canada.
"Governing Complexity in the Arctic Region" is a must-read for anyone interested in Arctic issues. It gives the reader an excellent introduction to how different actors have shaped the "new" Arctic agenda." - Dr. Svein Vigeland Rottem, Senior research fellow, Fridtjof Nansen Institute, Norway.
"As a scholar who has written extensively on the process of providing a framework for governance in the northern circumpolar region, I find that their recent undertaking offers a useful consideration of the issues and problems involved. They are knowledgeable of the Arctic region and its present needs. Their work gets at the heart of the challenges and opportunities that confront those who engage in diplomacy and paradiplomacy within the circumpolar arena." - Douglas C. Nord, Professor, Umeå University, Sweden.
