Abstract

In the post-Cold War era, subnational actors in the Arctic-regions, members of federations (in Canada, Russia and the United States), autonomies, administrative units, cities, and municipalities—are actively changing their roles in both policy-making and regional governance.

This research was done in the framework of the following projects: Arctic PIRE: Promoting Urban Sustainability in the Arctic (funded by the US National Science Foundation) and CANARCT, project no. 257638 (funded by the Research Council of Norway, 04-2016–03-2019).
