AGP Newsletters

New Website

The Arctic Governance Project is pleased to announce the launch of its new website at www.arcticgovernance.org

The website features the Arctic Governance Compendium, a comprehensive, searchable source of perspectives, proposals and news on the challenging issues facing the region. The Compendium is the first collection of its kind, offering an authoritative repository of information on Arctic governance.

The Compendium is searchable in six dimensions – by topic area: Marine, Terrestrial, Atmospheric; and by type of proposal: Existing Governance Arrangements, Proposed Governance Arrangements, and Governance Systems. Existing governance systems are divided according to scale and type, while proposed governance arrangements give an overview of the proposals and their sources. At this stage of AGP, governance systems are more or less dormant, but this "pathway" will be activated in parallel with the development of governance principles and guidelines.

The Compendium also features critical governance questions. Visitors are encouraged to propose revisions to each question, or to pose new ones. This process will enable the Project to gather a wide array of perspectives to inform its work.
