| Abstract | "Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This timely book presents an in-depth examination of how social science research contributes to understanding governance and security in the Arctic. Leading scholars across disciplines critically map the intersection of environmental shifts, geopolitical tensions, Indigenous sovereignty and regional cooperation in this rapidly transforming region. Drawing on empirical, theoretical and ethical perspectives, contributors advocate for an integrative interdisciplinary approach to governance and security research. They provide actionable insights into Arctic policymaking, spanning cooperation, conflict and diplomacy. Chapters explore the impact of pressing regional and transnational issues, including Russia's war on Ukraine, the developing climate crisis and resource geopolitics. By evaluating relevant literature and case studies, the book identifies forward-looking research frontiers and methodologies to tackle the complex entanglements between sovereignty, sustainability and security in the Arctic. A Research Agenda for Arctic Security and Governance is a valuable resource for scholars and students of international relations, political geography, Arctic studies and environmental politics. It is also beneficial to policymakers, think tanks, NGOs and ministries involved in Arctic, environmental, Indigenous and security policy"-- Provided by publisher. |
