In most respects, the striking growth
of international cooperation in the Arctic during the recent past
is good news. No one would advocate turning the clock back to an
era dominated by Cold War divisions and core/periphery relations
in the Circumpolar North. Yet the fact that ventures in international
cooperation are bursting out all over in the Arctic does raise a
variety of issues that will demand careful consideration as we seek
to flesh out our vision of the Arctic as a distinct region at the
opening of the new millennium. This section seeks to frame and to
provide an initial commentary on eight of the most significant of
these issues. |
