The Arctic is changing rapidly in ways that fundamentally affect the region’s ecosystems and societies and create new challenges for governance, while new access to resources and transportation routes raises political stakes. In the midst lies the Arctic Council as a regional high-level policy forum.
This Formas-funded project investigates the opportunities and limitations for international regional governance to meet challenges of rapid environmental change and related social in a context where drivers of change are often global yet where the power to intervene lies mainly at the national and subnational8levels. Specifically, it investigates the changing role of the Arctic Council.
The project focuses on three research questions:
The aims of the project are to better understand Arctic politics in this time of rapid environmental and social change and to use the Arctic case as a uniquely illustrative example of the politics of global change. In doing so, it will also contribute to the broader literature on international regional governance with a critical-geopolitical analysis of the issue of fit.
This project is being conducted in partnership with the Division of History of Science, Technology and Environment, KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
