The TN also organizes the annual Calotte Academy. The Arctic Yearbook seeks to be the preeminent repository of critical analysis on the Arctic region, with a mandate to inform observers about the state of Arctic politics, governance and security. It is an international and interdisciplinary peer-reviewed publication, published online at [www.arcticyearbook.com] to ensure wide distribution and accessibility to a variety of stakeholders and observers. Arctic Yearbook material is obtained through a combination of invited contributions and an open call for papers. For more information on contributing to the Arctic Yearbook, or participating in the TN on Geopolitics and Security, contact the Editor, Lassi Heininen. Acknowledgments The Arctic Yearbook would like to acknowledge the Arctic Portal [http://arcticportal.org] for their generous technical and design support as well as the scholars who provided peer review of the academic articles. 4 Arctic Yearbook 2015: Governance & Governing Table of Contents Section I 9 Preface – Arctic Governance 10 Fran Ulmer Governance & Governing in the Arctic: An Introduction to Arctic Yearbook 2015 13 Lassi Heininen, Heather Exner-Pirot & Joël Plouffe – AY Editors This Year in the Arctic: Timeline of 2015 Events 26 Lassi Heininen, Heather Exner-Pirot & Joël Plouffe – AY Editors Section II 31 Scholarly Papers 31 Local, sub-national and national governance 31 State Support of Delivery of Fuel & Energy Resources to the Subarctic Zone of the Russian North- East: A View & Recommendations 32 Irina Barakaeva, Natalia Batugina & Vladimir Gavrilov Maritime Activities in the Canadian Arctic: A Tool for Visualizing Connections between Stakeholders 51 Leah Beveridge, Mélanie Fournier & Ronald Pelot Regional Governance without Self-Government: Dynamism and Change in the North American Arctic 68 Adrienne M.

To lose it means that we will dismember the vital systems that make the Arctic work. It's not just a cost to the people who live there. It's a cost to all people everywhere.” - Sylvia Earle1 Governance is “the processes of interaction and decision-making among the actors involved in a collective problem that lead to the creation, reinforcement, or reproduction of social norms and institutions.”2 In short, it’s the effort to make good decisions for society. From my perspective, the news is good. Arctic governance is gaining strength, both within the US and internationally. Despite stressful changes tied to global geopolitical pressures and dramatic climate change, cooperation continues to be the theme in dialog, actions, and outcomes in the Arctic. The world’s ability to set aside sharp policy differences experienced at lower latitudes, in order to work

  • Arctic Science Summit Week Assw 2009
    ARCTIC SCIENCE SUMMIT WEEK ASSW 2009 Bergen, Norway, 22-28 March 2009 Welcome to ASSW 2009 In 1999, the first Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) was organized in Tromsø, Norway. This summit was set up to hold the meetings of all Arctic science organizations together on one location in one week. The platform was created to provide opportunities for international coordination, collaboration and cooperation in all disciplines of Arctic science. It was meant to combine science with management meetings. In this way business meetings were combined with a science and a project day, and the host country was offered the opportunity to present its most recent Arctic research. Side meetings organized by other groups with interest in Arctic science and policy took place at the same time. Now, after ten ASSWs organized in ten different countries all over the world, the organizations behind this event decided to change the concept of the week by including not only annual meetings of the Arctic science organizations, but also an Open Science Symposium. Instead of the science and project day, a three days international symposium was organized under the ambitious theme: Arctic Connections - results of 150 years of Arctic research. It is the intention of the organizers to make this the official symposium for International Arctic Science. We hope that the model we have chosen for the symposium will give you the possibility to get an impression of the wide specter of research activities that have taken place in the Arctic throughout the history. After ten years the ASSW is back in Norway.

    Detrital zircon ages and provenance of the Upper Paleozoic successions of Kotel’ny Island (New Siberian Islands archipelago) Victoria B. Ershova1,*, Andrei V. Prokopiev2, Andrei K. Khudoley1, Nikolay N. Sobolev3, and Eugeny O. Petrov3 1INSTITUTE OF EARTH SCIENCE, ST. PETERSBURG STATE UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITETSKAYA NAB. 7/9, ST. PETERSBURG 199034, RUSSIA 2DIAMOND AND PRECIOUS METAL GEOLOGY INSTITUTE, SIBERIAN BRANCH, RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, LENIN PROSPECT 39, YAKUTSK 677980, RUSSIA 3RUSSIAN GEOLOGICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE (VSEGEI), SREDNIY PROSPECT 74, ST. PETERSBURG 199106, RUSSIA ABSTRACT Plate-tectonic models for the Paleozoic evolution of the Arctic are numerous and diverse. Our detrital zircon provenance study of Upper Paleozoic sandstones from Kotel’ny Island (New Siberian Island archipelago) provides new data on the provenance of clastic sediments and crustal affinity of the New Siberian Islands. Upper Devonian–Lower Carboniferous deposits yield detrital zircon populations that are consistent with the age of magmatic and metamorphic rocks within the Grenvillian-Sveconorwegian, Timanian, and Caledonian orogenic belts, but not with the Siberian craton. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test reveals a strong similarity between detrital zircon populations within Devonian–Permian clastics of the New Siberian Islands, Wrangel Island (and possibly Chukotka), and the Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago. These results suggest that the New Siberian Islands, along with Wrangel Island and the Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago, were located along the northern margin of Laurentia-Baltica in the Late Devonian–Mississippian and possibly made up a single tectonic block. Detrital zircon populations from the Permian clastics record a dramatic shift to a Uralian provenance. The data and results presented here provide vital information to aid Paleozoic tectonic reconstructions of the Arctic region prior to opening of the Mesozoic oceanic basins.

This provides an opportunity to revisit the issue of First Nations’ standard of living and quality of life. Some First Nations made rapid progress from 2001 to 2016, as measured by the CWB. Others lost ground, in some cases substantial ground. This report will examine both groups in a search for factors associated with First Nations’ progress and regress. The good news for First Nations reserve communities is that their average CWB increased steadily over the 35 years from 1981 to 2016. Less good is the news that the gap between First Nations and other Canadian communities, after seeming to narrow a little in the 1990s, widened again and was almost as great in 2016 (19.1 points) as it was in 1981 (19.5 points). CWB scores are used in this paper to construct a new variable called Community Well-Being Change, 2001–2016, abbreviated as CWB-C.
