Sustainability in the Arctic Borderlands

New!

From: North America's Arctic Borders

$2.10

This chapter focuses on environmental change, which has quickly become the most important project of border security in the North. Water governance is a key. The focus remains on how cross-border and regional consultations continue to erode the authority of the nation-state, exploring the way in which new regional environmental co-operation challenges a go-it-alone mentality in an effort to build deeper and long-lasting effects in the Arctic.
