Summary: Introduction -- The High North -- he High North as a part of the global climate system: contemporary challenges -- Peoples of the High North -- The High North: the economic dimension -- The political dimension: North European Countries and the High North -- The High North as the area of international cooperation -- The High North: a source of conflicts or opportunities -- Conclusion.Summary: This book deals with the transformation of the Arctic from an isolated or a distant region to a member of the global community, vulnerable to global changes, and an area frequently in the very center of the world’s attention. Increased global interest is a potential source of tensions between the need for exploration or exploitation, and the requirements of protection. This context calls for new data, knowledge and information vital for a better understanding of interactions between different systems, as well as developing awareness about the current and potential changes in the future. The objective of the book is to help develop a strategy of adaptation to climate change based on the knowledge and experience of the extremely effective mechanisms which for centuries made survival possible in this region.PPN: PPN: 1657857077Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXEE | ZDB-2-EES
