Since the adoption of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959, Antarctica has been governed through a unique system of international collaboration. Designed to ensure the frozen continent is maintained exclusively for peaceful purposes, with freedom of scientific investigation, the Antarctic Treaty system has evolved to encourage high standards of environmental protection and the sustainable management of living resources. A companion volume to A Wise Adventure (VUP, 2000), A Wise Adventure 2 covers these developments, shedding light on the challenges the Antarctic Treaty system has faced and overcome from its inception to the present day. It explains the background to the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources - today responsible for the management of the highly sought-after Patagonian and Antarctic toothfish; documents the negotiations over the minerals regime which was adopted but never brought into force; and records the subsequent negotiations that resulted in the Madrid Protocol on Environment Protection.

This book addresses critical questions and analyses key issues regarding Indigenous/Aboriginal Peoples and governance of land and protected areas in the Arctic. It brings together contributions from scientists, indigenous and non-indigenous researchers, local leaders, and members of the policy community that: document Indigenous/Aboriginal approaches to governance of land and protected areas at the local, regional and international level; explore new territorial governance models that are emerging as part of the Indigenous/Aboriginal governance within Arctic States, provinces, territories and regions; analyse the recognition or lack thereof concerning indigenous rights to self-determination in the Arctic; and examine how traditional decision-making arrangements and practices can be linked with governments in the process of good governance. The book highlights essential lessons learned, success stories, and remaining issues, all of which are useful to address issues of Arctic governance of land and protected areas today, and which could also be relevant for future governance arrangements.

A new focus on international diplomacy and cooperation as the race for polar resources escalates As the race for resources in distant parts of the planet gathers momentum, the Arctic and Antarctic have taken on a more prominent role in international relations. Discussion has mostly centered on the potential for conflict, environmental destruction, and upheaval from climate change. This important book shifts the conversation from conflict to cooperation, bringing to light various underappreciated facets of diplomacy. Expert contributors from a wide variety of disciplines provide a more nuanced view of emerging cooperation in the poles than ever before. The authors discuss the complexities of governing the Arctic and Antarctic, addressing such issues as energy development, indigenous peoples' rights, tourism, invasive species, ship traffic, commercial fishing, military patrols, and mineral exploration. Will we repeat history and do lasting damage to fragile arctic ecosystems and traditional ways of life? Or can we create governance structures to protect these irreplaceable zones of discovery and awe, and usher in a new era of cooperation at the ends of the earth? This compelling book points the way toward finding the best answers.

The New Imperial Order is concerned with the many ways in which globalization impacts upon indigenous peoples, and their response. It explores the global political economy and the ideological and ontological grounds upon which the emergent global order is based. From the perspective of a Maori scholar and activist, it reviews the development of international law and the world order of nation states. It examines the international arena, the national state and forms of regionalism as sites for the reshaping of the global politico-economic order and the emergence of Empire. It identifies the emergence of a new form of global domination in which the connecting roles of militarism and the economy, and the increase in technologies of surveillance and control have acquired growing significance. It argues that indigenous world views are profoundly important to the development of alternative frameworks for global order that combine economic principles with spiritual values.

"Developed during a time of dramatic global upheavals and transformations, The New Imperial Order is concerned with the political economy of world order and the ontologies of being upon which the emergent global order is predicated. Positioned from a Maori perspective and contextualized within the international political and juridical framework, this book examines the political and juridical ontologies that shaped the development of international law and the world order of nation states. In engaging with these issues across macro and micro levels, the book identifies the nation state and new forms of regionalism as sites for the reshaping of the global politico/economic order and the re-emergence of Empire. Stewart-Harawira also tracks the role of education and the reconstruction of sovereign indigenous nations into dependent populations in the development of world order, and the profound impact of indigenous peoples' proactive global and local responses in the reshaping of international law."--Jacket.

This work draws upon the history of Arctic development and the view of the Arctic in different states to explain how such a discourse has manifested itself in current broader cooperation across eight statistics analysis based on organization developments from the late 1970s to the present, shows that international region discourse has largely been forwarded through the extensive role of North American, particularly Canadian, networks and deriving form their frontier-based conceptualization of the north.
