Abstract: The Barents Institute of the University of Tromsø and the Centre for North European and Baltic Studies of the Moscow State Institute of Foreign Relations (MGIMO) jointly launched, in 2011, the so-called Futures of Northern Cross-Border Collaboration Project. It brought together academic researchers and public and business managers with different specialities into a multidisciplinary network. This publication is a selection of the presentations held by the group at a round-table organised at MGIMO in 2011. In the first part of the book the “New North” is discussed, i.e. the new geopolitical power-field that has resulted from Arctic melting. The latter causes many environmental problems but on the bright side of things, at sea, diminishing ice opens new routes in the Arctic Ocean that will be important to international shipping. This also facilitates access to off-shore fossil fuel extraction on the large continental shelves of the circumpolar North. The second section of this book discusses the various challenges that are now urgent to address. Sound stewardship and sustainable economic growth can only be based on proactive development of knowledge through research, by continuing the successes of cultural and professional partnerships in the European north and by expanding the scopes and availability of cross-border programmes in higher education.

Abstract: The essay reflects on political pressures exerted by and on scientists and technologists acting as advisors on political and economic matters of the high north.It uses two case studies to do this. One consists in the group of scientists from several nations who engaged as advisors to their foreign offices in the process leading up tothe ratification of the Spitsbergen/Svalbard treaty in 1920. The focus is on the discourse regarding hunting, mining and nature protections on these islands. The second case is the way technologists and geological scientists were engaged in the industrialisation of the USSR. These contexts of course differ in scale and in many other ways but are similar in certain respects. The discussion is centred on the problems of technocracy which is commented based on the Frankfurt school's elaborations on the open society and differing interpretations of technological determinism. This is related further to contemporary contentions over the balance between scientific based environmental stewardship and technological management in northern raw material extraction.

Abstract: Presentations at this years Forum for Development Cooperation with Indigenous Peoples all recognized the current strengthening of indigenous rights at global, regional and national levels – as evidenced by the growing body of documents outlining comprehensive ideals for indigenous rights. These are laid out in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) the International Labour Organization Convention 169 (ILO 169), and in other global, regional and national documents recognizing indigenous rights. Many of the presentations also gave concrete examples of how these ideals are easily bypassed by governments and corporations when they are inconvenient for them, and what other challenges can arise in efforts to implement indigenous peoples right to participation. What are the possible solutions? What is the way out of the ‘implementation gap’ as many referred to it? How can we move forward productively in a way that allows for indigenous peoples to really participate in decision-making processes that affect them – not only those are defined as ‘indigenous’ but at all levels? These were the questions that the conference presentations addressed.
