“…Les recherches sur le transport maritime en Arctique ont reconnu très tôt que l'environnement polaire représente des risques grandement accrus pour les navires commerciaux d'une part et que d'autre part les écosystèmes arctiques sont plus susceptibles d'être affectés par la pollution des navires (LAMSON, 1987 ;ROGINKO, LAMOURIE, 1992). Considérant l'augmentation observée des trafics, ces préoccupations sont d'autant plus d'actualité (ARCTIC COUNCIL, 2009 ; DUPRÉ, 2010b) notamment parce que les hydrocarbures se dégradent plus lentement dans l'environnement polaire et que les méthodes utilisées pour récupérer le pétrole déversé en mer pourraient être impossibles à déployer en présence de glace.…”

This paper aims to provide a better understanding of maritime transport activities in the Canadian Arctic and its evolution since 2002. The methodology is original in the sense that it proposes a threefold analysis based on three different indicators. As well as using the two most common indicators (number of trips to the Canadian Arctic and number of trips within the Canadian Arctic), this contribution is amongst the first attempts to quantify maritime transportation activities in the Canadian Arctic in terms of distances travelled by vessels within the area. This quantification of Canadian Arctic shipping traffics in actual nautical miles travelled partially fills the information gaps resulting from the use of the first two indicators. Indeed the information is necessary for future more accurate evaluation of the footprint of maritime transport on the Canadian Arctic environment and to better understand the risks of navigation in this region. Furthermore, the results detail the nature of the rapid growth in commercial shipping within the Canadian Arctic in recent years. La présente contribution vise à fournir une meilleure compréhension de l’évolution des activités maritimes en Arctique canadien entre 2002. Il s’agit d’une analyse originale puisqu’elle permet de le faire sous trois angles, ou indicateurs, différents. En plus des deux indicateurs le plus souvent utilisés (nombre de voyages vers l’Arctique canadien et nombre de voyages en Arctique canadien), la présente constitue une des premières tentatives pour quantifier l’ampleur du trafic maritime en Arctique canadien et son évolution en fonction des distances parcourues par les navires. Cette analyse comble en partie les lacunes générées par l’utilisation de données relatives au nombre de voyages. En effet, la quantification des trafics en Arctique canadien en termes de milles marins pourra mener à un calcul de l’empreinte du transport maritime sur l’environnement arctique et ainsi mieux cerner les risques de la navigation. Qui plus est, la compilation réalisée détaille la nature de la croissance rapide dans les dernières années de la navigation commerciale dans l’Arctique canadien.

“…The strategy focused on new opportunities to address the problems of Arctic pollution. Many of the pollution issues to 33 be addressed tied into testing, transport, storage and decommissioning of nuclear weapons and nuclear-powered vessels, and thus were only possible to address in the radically changed post-Cold War geopolitical climate (Roginko and LaMourie, 1992;Keskitalo, 2004). The AEPS focused on six key pollution issues: (1) acidification in the Arctic; (2) persistent organic pollutants (POPs); (3) oil pollution in the Arctic (from vessels, offshore development); (4) radioactivity in the Arctic; (5) heavy metal pollution through long-range atmospheric transport; and (6) the monitoring and conservation of flora and fauna (Scrivener, 1999;Caron, 1993).…”

“…Dodds and Nuttall (2015: 41) coin the term 'legalization' of Arctic space to capture the growing layers of soft and hard law, produced specifically for the Arctic or for global application with important Arctic repercussions. At the end of the Cold War, the only multilateral agreements in place specific to the Arctic were the Svalbard Treaty and the 1973 Polar Bear Convention, which was originally an initiative of the Soviet Union (Roginko and LaMourie, 1992;Young, 1992Young, , 1998. The development and ratification, by most Arctic states, of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in 1982 was also another key milestone for the legal harmonisation of interests amongst the Arctic coastal states (Harders, 1987).…”

Typeset by Out of House Publishing AcknowledgementsThis book would have been impossible to carry out without the contributions of others.I am grateful to all of the interviewees from many years from Moscow; Murmansk; Ottawa; Washington, DC; Iqaluit; Copenhagen; Oslo; Anchorage; and elsewhere. All of these interviewees are busy practitioners, whose responsibilities and schedules are not necessarily designed to accommodate discussing questions with a researcher. Yet they found the time and energy to meet with me, and their insights have been invaluable.The enthusiasm of these practitioners is matched by a thriving world of Arctic social-science scholars, who continuously produce so much new, interesting research that I had to keep updating the references of this book until the very last minute. Discussions with this community of scholars, established and junior, at project workshops, at the International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences, Arctic Circle and Arctic Frontiers have been inspiring and formative. My 'long ago' friends and teachers from student days at the Scott Polar Research Institute continue to shape my thinking. My 'part-time' colleagues, Frode Mellemvik, Anatoli Bourmistrov and Elena Dybtsyna, as well as students at the High North Centre for Business at Nord University in Bodø, have increased my understanding of Arctic politics.I also appreciate the efforts of the anonymous reviewers who took time to comment, and of Jessica Shadian, who looked closely at the manuscript for me at an important juncture. From the days of the Greek cartographers dreaming about Ultima Thule at the edges of the known world, the cold reaches of the northern hemisphere have inspired grandiose caricatures of risk and opportunity. The region is often imagined from a distance as sublime, exceptional and prone to extremes. Out of space and out of time, as Poe put it, the circumpolar North is frequently envisioned as fundamentally apart from the complexities, indeterminacies and intricacies of life and politics in other parts of the globe. We see some of this exceptionalism in the application of dichotomies to the Arctic: the Arctic will either be preserved as humanity's last wilderness, or plundered by coastal states jealously guarding their natural resource treasure chests. All Arctic states are completely equal in Arctic governance, or the USA and Russia dominate militarily and diplomatically against a ve...
