Polar Shift: The Arctic Sustained
«
In Polar Shift: The Arctic Sustained, DiMento demonstrates that law has been critical to understanding the deeply contested nature of Arctic sustainability among different actors (governments, indigenous peoples, corporations, etc.) across time and space. This book is an invaluable resource for individuals with a keen interest in Arctic sustainability, early stage Arctic researchers across various disciplines, and decision-makers. It also serves as a crucial reminder to comprehend and promote Arctic sustainability against the broader geopolitical landscape, especially in the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. DiMento compellingly affirms that the good future of the North relies on regional practices that integrate sustainability and social justice, as well as the global community deepening their understanding and engaging respectfully with the region.—H-Environment

“This book guides readers through the great diversity of the ‘region of the century.’ Moving from the realm of the ‘Arctic Five’ to the cultural heritage of indigenous people, from Arctic governance to the latest scientific findings, the author offers a variety of tools to understand what future changes in the North will depend solely on natural forces… and what will depend on us.” —Ilaria Tani, Doctor of Research in International law, University of Milano-Bicocca, Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza (School of Law), Milano, Italy
