Against the backdrop of climate change and increasing commercial activity, it considers what a future Arctic should look like, from ideas of total protection to expansive oil and gas extraction. It examines the Arctic's position on the political agenda, from Norway's High North hype to a more peripheral place in the foreign policy of the US and explores the Council's role as an important international forum for dialogue and cooperation on Arctic challenges and opportunities, and a significant arena for developing knowledge and learning about a changing region.Environmental policyInternational organizationEcologyEnvironmental PolicyInternational OrganizationEnvironmental SciencesEnvironmental policy.International organization.Ecology.Environmental Policy.International Organization.Environmental Sciences.354.3Rottem Svein Vigelandauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut989780BOOK9910370060303321The Arctic Council2263926UNINA
