LEADERSHIP FOR THE NORTH GEBUNDEN

This book investigates multidimensional change in the Arctic and policy response to it. It
focuses its attention on the need for effective leadership within the region. In so doing it
considers the contribution made by the main international organization of the region  the
Arctic Council. In particular  it examines the various leadership functions undertaken by the
Chair of that body including that of convener  manager  promoter  representative and resolver
of differences. It is argued that in performing these multiple roles the Chair is contributing
to the necessary leadership required to address pressing Arctic concerns. The book highlights
the activities of the four most recent Arctic Council Chairs  Sweden  Canada  the United States
and Finland. It considers the programs for action that each of these countries promoted during
their terms at the helm of this major circumpolar organization. It examines the particular
approaches  methods and strategies that each used to advance its agenda and the consequences of
such efforts. It focuses attention on the need for building consensus among a diverse
membership including Arctic states  organizations representing northern indigenous peoples 
non-Arctic countries and non-governmental bodies. Drawing upon the insights of scholars from
several disciplines from across the circumpolar community  the collected essays in this volume
seek to paint a picture of the real challenges and opportunities for international diplomacy in
the contemporary North. It suggests that there are true lessons to be learned in advancing
leadership within the region. The book provides a means for considering these and the most
effective means of response.
