Abstract

The way the Arctic is perceived, in terms of policy and law, has changed considerably in recent years. For someone like myself, who has been following the development of the region for a couple of decades, it is of interest why this has taken place – and what has been driving these changes. Understanding how these sudden changes in Arctic policy and law have been interpreted in the larger community of researchers and professionals. It is my argument that there exists a loose network of experts in Arctic international governance, of which only a minority are lawyers or legal scholars.
