  • The Arctic Circle Is an Independent Nonprofit Organization Founded By
    The Arctic Circle is an independent nonprofit organization founded by President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson of Iceland, former Greenland Prime Minister Kuupik Kleist, Alaska Dispatch and Arctic Imperative Summit founder Alice Rogoff and other prominent leaders on Arctic issues. The organization’s mission is to facilitate dialogue and build relationships to responsibly address rapid changes in the Arctic. Given the complexity of the issues involving the region and their global impact, the Arctic Circle provides a nonpartisan platform to convene a broad group of stakeholders for knowledge-sharing and cooperation. With sea ice levels at their lowest point in recorded history, the world’s G-20 political leaders, investors, business executives and the media are now recognizing the importance of the region and the challenges and opportunities this presents for all nations, for people around the world. ANNUAL ASSEMBLY In the fall of 2013, the Arctic Circle established itself as the preeminent international gathering of its kind. Held in Reykjavík, Iceland, at the Harpa Reykjavík Concert Hall and Conference Centre, the Arctic Circle Assembly brought together more than 1,200 international decision-makers from more than 40 nations, including Russia, the United States and other Arctic nations as well as Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and the United Kingdom. The event allowed existing institutions to reach a diverse global audience in a new and efficient way. Topics of focus included the latest scientific data on climate change and strategies to mitigate its effects, the prospects and challenges of Arctic energy development, how the Northern Sea Route will change global shipping, investment opportunities in the Arctic, and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

  • The North American Arctic: Themes in Regional Security
    Edited by The North American Arctic addresses the emergence of a new security relationship within the Dwayne Ryan Menezes North American North. It focuses on current and emerging security issues that confront the North American Arctic and that shape relationships between and with neighbouring states (Alaska in Heather N. Nicol the US; Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Canada; Greenland and Russia). Identifying the degree to which ‘domain awareness’ has redefined the traditional military focus, while a new human rights discourse undercuts traditional ways of managing sovereignty and territory, the volume’s contributors question normative security arrangements. Although security itself is not an obsolete concept, our understanding of what constitutes real human-centred security has become outdated. The contributors argue that there are new regionally specific threats originating from a wide range of events and possibilities, and very different subjectivities that can be brought to understand the shape of Arctic security and security relationships in the twenty-first century. The North American Arctic provides a framework or lens through which many new developments are assessed in order to understand their impact on a changing circumpolar region at different scales – from the level of community to the broader national and regional scale. Dwayne Ryan Menezes is Founder and Managing Director of Polar Research and Policy Initiative (PRPI) and Honorary Fellow at the UCL Institute of Risk and Disaster Reduction. Heather N.Heather Nicol Menezes Dwayne Ryan by Edited Heather N. Nicol is Professor in the School of the Environment and Acting Director of the School for the Study of Canada at Trent University (Canada).

In early 2018, I launched my news & political commentary and research Vlog (also referred to as a “Video-Log,” or “Vlog”) to social media video platforms after MANY years of thinking about doing so. My purpose was that I had a LOT of information that I needed to get out to whomever would listen. I needed to have a paper trail of why I was saying what I was saying. And the most important thing for myself was to stay centered on the task at hand... The Following is an ongoing story... On July 2, 2020 at her luxurious, remote 156-acre compound in Bradford, New Hampshire, The FBI broke through Ghislaine Maxwell’s locked gate. Agents then began identifying themselves as they approached her dwelling, at which time they could see Ghislaine looking at them through a window, which is when they asked her to open the door. She ignored their orders and tried to flee and was consequentially arrested and taken into custody. Maxwell was transferred to a federal detention facility in Brooklyn (USA) on July 6 and on July 14 she made a “virtual” (by camera) court appearance.

  • 58174 Journalism School-Journal PPG.Indd
    Columbia Journalism School | Tow Center for Digital Journalism Chapter 3 Local and Niche Sites: The Advantages of Being Small TBD.com ran into trouble right from the start. In February 2011, just six months after going live, the Washington, D.C., area’s high-profile experiment in local online journalism announced that it would lay off half of its editorial staff, detach its site from its TV-station partner and reinvent itself as a culture-and- lifestyle site. Many of those who did stay on looked for the exit as soon as they could line up another job. The reshuffling—which followed the departure of Jim Brady, the former Washington Post online executive brought in to launch the site—marked the meaningful end of one of the best-funded and best-pedigreed efforts to make professional journalism work online. The site, whose name stands for To Be De- termined, had drawn a great deal of attention for the quality of its editorial staff and for its use of social media.1 Clearly there was an important lesson here for other news sites, especially those plying the local or “hyperlocal” trade. Just what that lesson was, though, is in dispute. Does TBD’s failure prove that “hyperlocal journalism is more hype than hope,” as media analyst Alan Mutter put it?2 Or did it mainly signal a failure of nerve on the part of corporate par- ent Allbritton Communications, whose CEO, Robert Allbritton, had pledged to provide a three- to five-year runway to profitability? It is clear that the site was, as expected, losing money, despite impressive traffic growth.

  • Understanding Cooperation in the Arctic
    UNDERSTANDING COOPERATION IN THE ARCTIC: A NEO-GRAMSCIAN PERSPECTIVE by Gregory Sharp A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2016 © Gregory Sharp, 2016 Abstract Reading the popular media, it would be easy to think that the Arctic is on the verge of conflict. The narrative reflected in the news is a decidedly conflictual one that stands at odds with the cooperation that has come to characterise the region over the last two decades and has been repeatedly debunked by scholars. Surprisingly, this cooperation has largely continued even following the annexation of Crimea and the imposition of sanctions. This raises an important question: why? By way of response, and in an effort to expand the discussion on the Arctic beyond traditional positivist approaches, neo-Gramscian theory is employed using process tracing. By drawing on a diversity of examples and testing them against concepts drawn from the literature, support is found for the neo-Gramscian explanation: that cooperation in the Arctic is the by-product of a neoliberal hegemonic bloc pursuing their interests in the region. ii Preface This thesis is an original, unpublished, independent work by the author, Gregory Sharp. iii Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................ ii Preface ............................................................................................................................
