The Arctic-Barents Region is facing numerous pressures from a variety of
sources, including the effect of environmental changes and extractive industrial
developments. The threats arising out of these pressures result in human
security challenges.
This book analyses the formation, and promotion, of societal security
within the context of the Arctic-Barents Region. It applies the human security
framework, which has increasingly gained currency at the UN level since 1994
(UNDP), as a tool to provide answers to many questions that face the
Barents population today. The study explores human security dimensions
such as environmental security, economic security, health, food, water, energy,
communities, political security and digital security in order to assess the
current challenges that the Barents population experiences today or may
encounter in the future. In doing so, the book develops a comprehensive
analysis of vulnerabilities, challenges and needs in the Barents Region and
provides recommendations for new strategies to tackle insecurity and improve
the wellbeing of both indigenous and local communities.
This book will be a valuable tool for academics, policy-makers and students
interested in environmental and human security, sustainable development,
environmental studies and the Arctic and Barents Region in particular.
