Abstract

Issues of ‘conflict and cooperation’ are still poignant in the Arctic discourse showing how weak the bond is between Arctic states, which, in turn, begs the question of what the future should hold for environmental governance in the Arctic region. The paper explores theoretical and practical potential for lateralisation of Arctic governance in the Russian context through horizontal networks between people and companies of the Arctic and the means that would be required to scale up the impact of such informal groupings.

Sabetta had practically no inhabitants before 2006; drilling in the Arctic ocean will cause no direct disturbance to indigenous livelihoods.

In the case of the Russian Arctic, it is predominantly resource rent.

The incomplete law theory states that law is inherently incomplete. While the parties who signed UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) acknowledged that climate change can be caused by anthropogenic emissions, this generally accepted premise is unlikely to be admitted for a specific case of climate change loss or damage. Thus, this legal instrument may be considered incomplete as it lacks in specificity. In the Russian context the issue of Arctic environment protection was brought up by Gladun (2015) who stressed that this matter has been unevenly covered in Russia’s Arctic policy documents, which are used as a framework for resource development but fail to refer to environmental standards or restrictions.
