Sisältö

The course starts by introducing students to the various ways in which the Arctic is conceptualised in international relations. It then examines the ways in which Arctic states seek to govern the Arctic, its peoples and its resources, and the conflicts within and between states which ensue. The Arctic will also be approached as a space of attempted innovation and change in international relations, as the course focuses on the origins and development of the Arctic Council, a still fairly unique experiment in the integration of indigenous peoples in international governance structures.
