The theme of this year’s symposium: How to govern change in the Arctic? Are transformations governable?

”Arcti c change” 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.

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.

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.

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. ArcticCouncil). This topical diversity will be addressed at the symposium.
  ;
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.

In order to understand better (un)governability o f Arctic change, we invite critically oriented presentations to the Northern Political Economy Symposiu m 2021 to discuss governance of Arctic transformations as well as examples of empirical research into different processes of societal tran sformations and their governability.
 
 
The event will start with a key note speech by Professor OlafCo rry, University of Leeds, UK. His talk is titled Conce ptions of'nature' in Inter national Relations: where from and where next?
 
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 'iSPACE'  ;focuses on the security implications of climate engineering technologies ( ‘geoengineering’).

He has published on climate security, the pol itics of global risks, social movements and geopolitics, and IR theory and global objects. His book 'Constructing a Global Polity:&nb sp;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. 
 
The event is one of the activities of the UArctic thematic network “Critical Arctic Studies” (CAS) and organized in collaboration with the doctoral programme of the University of Lapland&nbs p;“The Arctic in a Changing World”.  Doctoral candidates should consul t their supervisors about receiving credits for presenting and participatin g in the event.
