Inuit Peoples and the Governance of the North American Arctic; William L. Iggiagruk Hensley.Though it has been home for centuries to indigenous peoples who have mastered its conditions, the Arctic has historically proven to be a difficult region for governments to administer. Extreme temperatures, vast distances, and widely dispersed patterns of settlement have made it impossible for bureaucracies based in far-off capitals to erect and maintain the kind of infrastructure and institutions that they have built elsewhere. As climate change transforms the polar regions, this book seeks to explore how the challenges of governance are developing and being met in Alaska, the Canadian Far North, and Greenland, while also drawing upon lessons from the region's past. Though the experience of each of these jurisdictions is unique, their place within democratic, federal systems and the prominence within each of them of issues relating to the rights of indigenous peoples situates them as part of an identifiably 'North American Arctic.' Today, as this volume shows, their institutions are evolving to address contemporary issues of security, environmental protection, indigenous rights, and economic development.St Antony's Series,2633-5964Public policyEnvironmental policyHuman geographyRegional planningUrban planningPolitical scienceInternational relationsPublic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060Environmental Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U38000Human Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000Landscape/Regional and Urban Planninghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000Political Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000International Relationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000Arctic regionsGovernment policyUnited StatesArctic regionsGovernment policyCanadaArctic regionsGovernment policyGreenlandPublic policy.Environmental policy.Human geography.Regional planning.Urban planning.Political science.International relations.Public Policy.Environmental Politics.Human Geography.Landscape/Regional and Urban Planning.Political Science.International Relations.338.911/3POL020000POL026000POL044000bisacshBerry Dawn Alexandreaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBowles Nigeledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtJones Halbertedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910255317803321Governing the North American arctic1744467UNINA
