Contesting the Arctic. Politics and Imaginaries in the Circumpolar North (Соперничество в Арктике. Политика и воображение на циркумполярном севере)

Издание на английском языке
"Contesting the Arctic is a sophisticated analysis of how contemporary discourses and performances are caught up in older colonial and Cold War legacies of knowledge production and geopolitics. It is a reminder to us all that we need to be ever vigilant in terms of how vast and complex spaces such as the “Arctic” are constituted and reproduced in political and popular cultures. As global attention grows towards the Arctic, this book reminds us that the Arctic is also a homeland and not an “empty space” to be scrambled over".
