Nordic Approaches to Climate-Related Human Mobility

Academic discussion of climate‐related human mobility has understandably focused on the places where people are especially vulnerable to climate‐related harm: the Global South. Yet, the unique biophysical, legal and socio‐political characteristics of the Nordic region, as well as its roles as both ‘home’ and ‘host’ to climate‐related mobilities, justify its independent attention. Filling this lacuna, this collection is the first to address climate‐related human mobility in the Nordic region. It is a timely and much needed collection, which brings together leading and emerging voices from both academia and practice in a single volume, spanning policy and geographical breadth...

Bridging Cultural Concepts of Nature

National parks and other preserved spaces of nature have become iconic symbols of nature protection around the world. However, the worldviews of Indigenous peoples have been marginalized in discourses of nature preservation and conservation. As a result, for generations of Indigenous peoples, these protected spaces of nature have meant dispossession, treaty violations of hunting and fishing rights, and the loss of sacred places. Bridging Cultural Concepts of Nature brings together anthropologists and archaeologists, historians, linguists, policy experts, and communications scholars to discuss differing views and presents a compelling case for the possibility of more productive discussions on...

The Energy Trilemma in the Baltic Sea Region

The Energy Trilemma in the Baltic Sea Region provides insight into the energy trilemma in the Baltic Sea Region. Energy Trilemma in the Baltic Sea Region has undergone significant transformation in the last number of years. Energy actors in the region are struggling to reconcile new questions of energy security following the COVID-19 pandemic and the invasion of Ukraine with net-zero objectives and a cost-of-living crisis. Balancing these concerns is essential to resolving the “energy trilemma”: the dilemma that emerges for policy-makers and regulators seeking to balance energy security, equity, and environmental concerns in pursuit of a wholly sustainable energy system. This volume draw...

The Significance of Sámi Rights

This book examines the significance of the rights of the Sámi people and analyses the issues raised by the recognition and implementation of these rights in the Nordic countries. Written together by Sámi and non-Sámi experts, the book adopts a human rights approach to examine the adequacy of law and policies that seek to protect the culture and livelihood of Sámi communities in their traditional lands and territories. The book discusses contemporary legal and jurisprudential developments in the field of Sámi rights. It examines the processes and challenges in the recognition and implementation of these rights, particularly in relation to the governance of their traditional land and resources. The book will be of particular interest to legal scholars, political scientists, experts in the field of Indigenous peoples’ rights, governmental authorities, and members of Indigenous communities.

Kapringen

En tidlig novembermorgen i 1941 legger en av Oslofergene til ved en brygge på Håøya i Oslofjorden. Seks gruvearbeidere fra Longyearbyen blir én etter én ført fram til en massegrav hvor de blir skutt av tyske marinesoldater. 29. mai hadde de kapret isbryteren «Isbjørn» for å dra til alliert havn og slutte seg til motstandskampen mot Nazi-Tyskland. På grunn av uvær og dårlige navigasjonskunnskaper måtte de gi opp og ble ført til Tromsø. Samtidig med rettsaken i Oslo blir Svalbard evakuert og gruveanleggene ødelagt. Dette fører til annen akt i dette ishavsdramaet. Direktøren i Store Norske og 14 andre nordmenn blir drept av tyske flyangrep utenfor den russiske gruvebyen Barentsburg idet de forsøker å gjeninnta gruvene. Dette er den første sammenfattende beretningen om de tragiske begivenheter som fant sted i Ishavet og Oslofjorden for 70 år siden.

VermisstenFall

Tim Strecker, Detektiv minderer Begabung, soll einen Vermissten aufspüren. Der ist untergetaucht, weil er einem Waffenhändler auf die Schliche gekommen sein will. Strecker macht sich widerwillig auf die Suche und stellt bald fest, dass ihm dieser Fall über den Kopf wächst. Auch sein väterlicher Freund, Kommissar Auguste Le Meur, ist von Streckers Ermittlungen alles andere als begeistert, zumal mit deren Beginn die Mortalitätsrate drastisch ansteigt. Unterstützung erhält der Detektiv dagegen von dem Rollstuhlfahrer und Computerhacker Maschine, der ihn mit technischem Equipment und einer illegalen Schusswaffe versorgt.
