"This reviewer has truly enjoyed this book and the narrative that spins through most articles: innovative and inclusive governance benefits both polar regions as regards security, stability and sustainability. (...) This book is a remarkable contribution to embedding the polar regions into a discourse of rule of law and good governance."Nikolas Sellheim, Faculty of Law, University of Lapland, Polar Record, Cambridge University Press 2013.
