Contents

This book would have been impossible to carry out without the contributions of others.

I am grateful to all of the interviewees from many years from Moscow; Murmansk; Ottawa; Washington, DC; Iqaluit; Copenhagen; Oslo; Anchorage; and elsewhere. All of these interviewees are busy practitioners, whose responsibilities and schedules are not necessarily designed to accommodate discussing questions with a researcher. Yet they found the time and energy to meet with me, and their insights have been invaluable.

The enthusiasm of these practitioners is matched by a thriving world of Arctic social-science scholars, who continuously produce so much new, interesting research that I had to keep updating the references of this book until the very last minute. Discussions with this community of scholars, established and junior, at project workshops, at the International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences, Arctic Circle and Arctic Frontiers have been inspiring and formative. My long ago friends and teachers from student days at the Scott Polar Research Institute continue to shape my thinking. My part-time colleagues, Frode Mellemvik, Anatoli Bourmistrov and Elena Dybtsyna, as well as students at the High North Centre for Business at Nord University in Bod, have increased my understanding of Arctic politics.

I also appreciate the efforts of the anonymous reviewers who took time to comment, and of Jessica Shadian, who looked closely at the manuscript for me at an important juncture. Tony Mason, Robert Byron and the team at Manchester University Press have been supportive of this project all along.

I am a lucky person who gets to work with talented, encouraging colleagues every day. I received helpful feedback from Ole Jacob Sending, Helge Blakkisrud, Wrenn Yennie Lindgren, Pernille Rieker, Indra verland, Francesca Jensenius, Bjrnar Sverdrup-Thygesen, Benjamin de Carvalho, and Julie Wilhelmsen at a Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) book workshop. Helene Asmussen provided helpful assistance with the references. Iver Neumann has been a great book buddy, providing encouragement and critique. The theory seminar and masterclasses organised by Ole Jacob Sending have also been a source of inspiration. Jan-Morten Torrissen and Ulf Sverdrup have invested themselves in making NUPI a good place to work, and their efforts have mattered greatly to me as a working parent of three small children.

The writing of this book has been financed by the Norwegian Research Council Polar Research programme through the research project Science and Business in Arctic Environmental Governance (#257664).

Lars, Samuel, Vera and Isak have not made direct contributions to this book (beyond where otherwise referenced), but make immense contributions to my happiness. This book is dedicated to my parents, in memory of my Dad, John Wilson, and with gratitude to my mother, Carole Wilson, who were always there to answer the phone as curiosity took me further from home.

I have reached these lands but newly

From an ultimate dim Thule

From a wild weird clime, that lieth, sublime,

Out of Space out of Time.

(Edgar Allan Poe, Dream-Land (1844))

From the days of the Greek cartographers dreaming about Ultima Thule at the edges of the known world, the cold reaches of the northern hemisphere have inspired grandiose caricatures of risk and opportunity. The region is often imagined from a distance as sublime, exceptional and prone to extremes. Out of space and out of time, as Poe put it, the circumpolar North is frequently envisioned as fundamentally apart from the complexities, indeterminacies and intricacies of life and politics in other parts of the globe.
