商品簡介
Energy security will remain a challenge in the decades to come, and whereas global warming is opening up access to offshore hydrocarbon resources in the Arctic Ocean, civil society and the scientific community are questioning the opportunities to drill in the Arctic marine areas. The differences in approach to the governance of oil and gas extraction in the Arctic arises from fundamental differences in histories, cultures, domestic constraints and substantive values and attitudes in the Arctic coastal states and sub-states. The different political and legal traditions and rationalities in the Arctic societies e.g. in respect to energy security, to ownership and respect of the rights of indigenous people, have an impact on how the governance systems in respect to oil and gas extraction are designed. This book examines the current governance of such extractive activities and their effects.
