About this book
The Arctic has, for some forty years, been among the most innovative policy environments in the world. The region has developed impressive systems for intra-regional cooperation, responded to the challenges of the rapid environmental change, empowered and engaged with Indigenous peoples, and dealt with the multiple challenges of natural resource development. The Palgrave Handbook on Arctic Policy and Politics has drawn on scholars from many countries and academic disciplines to focus on the central theme of Arctic policy innovation. The portrait that emerges from these chapters is of a complex, fluid policy environment, shaped by internal, national and global dynamics and by a wide range of political, legal, economic, and social transitions. The Arctic is a complex place from a political perspective and is on the verge of becoming even more so. Effective, proactive and forward-looking policy innovation will be required if the Far North is to be able to address its challenges and capitalize on its opportunities.
Reviews
“The Palgrave Handbook on Arctic Policy provides a valuable addition to the fields of Arctic social science and international policy.” (Lee Huskey, Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Alaska Anchorage, USA)
“The Arctic is a surprisingly complex place, divided by cultures, worldviews, languages and national boundaries. This handbook provides an informative and provocative guide to a region that may well shape the destiny of the planet.” (William R. Morrison, Professor Emeritus of History, University of Northern British Columbia, Canada)
