New Arctic Cinemas Media Sovereignty and the Climate Crisis

 
New Arctic Cinemas Media Sovereignty and the Climate Crisis
Free Download Scott MacKenzie, "New Arctic Cinemas: Media Sovereignty and the Climate Crisis"
English | ISBN: 0520390547 | 2023 | 368 pages | PDF | 4 MB
For centuries, the Arctic was visualized as an unchanging, stable, and rigidly alien landscape, existing outside twenty-first-century globalization. It is now impossible to ignore the ways the climate crisis, expanding resource extraction, and Indigenous political mobilization in the circumpolar North are constituent parts of the global present. New Arctic Cinemas presents an original, comparative, and interventionist historiography of film and media in twenty-first-century Scandinavia, Greenland, Russia, Canada, and the United States to situate Arctic media in the place it rightfully deserves to occupy: as central to global environmental concerns and Indigenous media sovereignty and self-determination movements. The works of contemporary Arctic filmmakers, from Zacharias Kunuk and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril to Amanda Kernell and Inuk Silis Høegh, reach worldwide audiences. In examining the reach and influence of these artists and their work, Scott MacKenzie and Anna Westerstahl Stenport reveal a global media system of intertwined production contexts, circulation opportunities, and imaginaries-all centering the Arctic North.

Arctic Law and Governance The Role of China and Finland
Arctic Law and Governance: The Role of China and Finland By Timo Koivurova (editor), QIN Tianbao (editor), Sebastien Duyck (editor), Tapio Nykänen (editor)
2017 | 312 Pages | ISBN: 1849467021 | PDF | 3 MB
The objective of this book is to identify similarities and differences between the positions of Finland (as an EU Member State) and China, on Arctic law and governance. The book compares Finnish and Chinese legal and policy stances in specific policy areas of relevance for the Arctic, including maritime sovereignty, scientific research, marine protected areas, the Svalbard Treaty and Arctic Council co-operation. Building on these findings, the book offers general conclusions on Finnish and Chinese approaches to Arctic governance and international law, as well as new theoretical insights on Arctic governance.The book is the result of a collaboration between The Northern Institute for Environmental and Minority Law (Arctic Centre, University of Lapland) and researchers from Wuhan University.

Arctic Governance Through Conferencing

 
Arctic Governance Through Conferencing
Arctic Governance Through Conferencing: Actors, Agendas and Arenas
English | 2023 | ISBN: 303123331X | 189 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 4 MB
This book examines the functions of conferences within Arctic governance, as a third dimension between sovereign states and formalized cooperative arrangements. It analyzes conferences against the background of three main empirical topics. Firstly, the functions of conferences for different actor groups, both Arctic rights holders and emerging non-Arctic state actors claiming stakeholder status. From this, the book also analyzes how conferences contribute to altering the actor composition of Arctic governance as a whole. Secondly, conferences as agenda setting arenas - whether conference activities can contribute to influencing the broader agenda in the region, and conferences as arenas for agenda setting - whether participants can bring with them topics that are picked up and brought into other processes. Thirdly, the book considers the space for conferences within broader governance architectures, as links between units in the regime complex.

Thawing Permafrost Permafrost Carbon in a Warming Arctic
Thawing: Permafrost Permafrost Carbon in a Warming Arctic by J. van Huissteden
English | 2020 | EPUB | 520 Pages | ISBN : 3030313786 | 97.66 MB
This book provides a cross-disciplinary overview of permafrost and the carbon cycle by providing an introduction into the geographical distribution of permafrost, with a focus on the distribution of permafrost and its soil carbon reservoirs. The chapters explain the basic physical properties and processes of permafrost soils: ice, mineral and organic components, and how these interact with climate, vegetation and geomorphological processes. In particular, the book covers the role of the large quantities of ice in many permafrost soils which are crucial to understanding carbon cycle processes.
