SUMMARY:Northern Political Economy Symposium 2021
LOCATION:Rovaniemi\, Finland + Hybrid
DESCRIPTION:<p>The theme of this year’s symposium:&nbsp;<strong>How to govern change in
  the Arctic? Are transformations governable?</strong><br /><br /><em>”Arcti
 c change”</em>&nbsp;is a popular way to frame current developments and to d
 iscuss the future of the region as a complex set of interconnected environm
 ental, social and economic changes taking place in the region and leading t
 o its fundamental transformation.<br /><br />Different forms of governance 
 to guide and govern these changes is yet another topical but a complex set 
 of issues connecting different levels of societal actors, forms of action, 
 and concerns, such as sustainability and equity.<br /><br />Also, the quest
 ion remains whether these transformations are in anyway governable, and wha
 t are the possible unintended and unwanted effects of any efforts of govern
 ance.<br /><br />Consequently, it becomes evident that governance in Arctic
  regions goes far beyond the schemes of regional authorities and the polici
 es of few supranational bodies (e.g.<span style="text-decoration: underline
 ;">&nbsp;Arctic</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Council</sp
 an>). This topical diversity will be addressed at the symposium.<br />&nbsp
 ;<br />In recent years, social science-based research has produced a myriad
  of concepts, approaches and methodologies to understand societal transform
 ations and their governability, such as collaborative governance, interacti
 ve governance, metagovernance, governmentality and global governance, to na
 me just a few.<br /><br />In order to understand better (un)governability o
 f Arctic change, we invite critically oriented presentations to the&nbsp;<s
 pan style="text-decoration: underline;">Northern Political Economy Symposiu
 m 2021</span>&nbsp;to discuss governance of Arctic transformations as well 
 as examples of empirical research into different processes of societal tran
 sformations and their governability.<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />The event
  will start with a key note speech by&nbsp;<span style="text-decoration: un
 derline;">Professor Olaf</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Co
 rry, University of Leeds, UK.</span>&nbsp;His talk is titled&nbsp;<em>Conce
 ptions of<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>'nature' in Inter
 national Relations: where from and where next?<br />&nbsp;</em><br />Olaf C
 orry is Professor of Global Security Challenges at Leeds University, UK. Hi
 s research and teaching is centered on how natural and social phenomena, tr
 aditionally studied separately, might be grasped together; in particular, h
 ow global and planetary environmental systems interact with the fragmented 
 and uneven international system. His current project '<em>iSPACE'</em>&nbsp
 ;focuses on the security implications of climate engineering technologies (
 ‘geoengineering’).<br /><br />He has published on climate security, the pol
 itics of global risks, social movements and geopolitics, and IR theory and 
 global objects. His book&nbsp;<em>'Constructing a Global Polity:<strong>&nb
 sp;</strong>Theory, Discourse and Governance' theorises the emergence of gl
 obal objects of governance (such as the climate) and how they structure and
  shape world politics.&nbsp;</em><br />&nbsp;<br />The event is one of the 
 activities of the UArctic thematic network&nbsp;<span style="text-decoratio
 n: underline;">“Critical Arctic Studies” (CAS)</span>&nbsp;and organized in
  collaboration with the doctoral programme of the University of Lapland&nbs
 p;“The Arctic in a Changing World”.&nbsp; Doctoral candidates should consul
 t their supervisors about receiving credits for presenting and participatin
 g in the event. &nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp
