  Norway is the only nation claiming sovereignty in both polar regions, and its engagement in Antarctic governance reflects its nationals’ longstanding involvement in regional exploration, resource use and scientific research. Contested legal issues have included sovereignty and sovereign rights, balancing economic use and environmental protection and developing the Antarctic Treaty System. This article describes Norway's history of Antarctic engagement and its role in current international governance issues. Norway’s main reason for upholding Antarctic sovereignty claims has evolved from protection of economic activities to promotion of political influence in the development of the Antarctic Treaty System, aiming for consensus solutions that recognise the legitimacy of sustainable use of marine living resources in the Southern Ocean.

  Arctic economic development is primarily driven by the extraction of natural resources such as hydrocarbons, hard minerals, and fisheries. This vast natural wealth is located within remote Arctic marine and terrestrial regions and requires expanded infrastructure and transportation networks; both pipelines and commercial shipping (bulk carriers, oil tankers, and liquefied natural gas carriers) are critical to exporting these resources to global markets. There is, however, great uncertainty about future development of Arctic natural resources as it is influenced by complex global factors. Continuing global climate change (and extreme warming of the Arctic) improves conditions for navigation in parts of the Arctic, but also complicates construction of infrastructure because of thawing permafrost, besides, the long-term demand for Arctic hydrocarbons is questionable. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has changed the security landscape, with Finland and Sweden now members of NATO. A tense international situation is i

  This article highlights recent successes and failures in efforts to manage Arctic marine living resources to improve our understanding of institutional resilience—that is, the ability of cooperative institutions to maintain their performance despite severe disruptions to their operating environments. Rising ocean temperatures and other impacts of climate change may alter the spatial distribution of fish stocks, including their relative attachment to exclusive economic zones and their availability on the high seas. As evident in the examined Arctic cases, which involve the world’s largest stocks of cod, herring and mackerel, such changes may complicate core resource management tasks, including the regulatory task of reaching an agreement among user states on quotas and other restraints that align with scientific advice. The cross-case variance in regulatory resilience to climate-related and other changes in cooperative circumstances sheds light on general propositions regarding the drivers and inhibitors of institutional resilience, including institutional characteristics and the severity of the political challenges posed by changing circumstances.

  This volume examines how international institutions set up to manage marine living resources are adapting to the effects of climate change on the geographic distribution of these resources. In the Barents Sea, the world’s biggest cod stock is expanding north-eastwards, while in the Nordic Seas significant changes in abundance, distribution and migration patterns can be observed in the world’s largest stocks for mackerel and herring. In the Antarctic, increasing temperatures and the associated declines in sea ice, ocean acidification and changes in circulation is likely to affect the geographical distribution of krill, the keystone species of Southern Ocean ecosystems. These developments put established international management regimes under pressure. In this interdisciplinary research volume, world-leading marine biologists, international lawyers and political scientists join efforts to study the resilience of Arctic and Antarctic marine resource management institutions to large-scale shifts of major marine stocks.

  This introductory essay synthesises the contributions to this special 5 issue on polar regions and multi-level governance, showing how they address three important themes in the study of institutional complexes: interplay management; the influence that global institutions and processes exert on regional regimes; and the ways in which states and other actors pursue their interests within com- 10 plexes of institutions. The institutional complexes in focus here comprise institutions relevant to Arctic Ocean governance, EU– Arctic relationships, Arctic maritime boundary disputes, the Antarctic Treaty System (including CCAMLR), the preservation of cultural heritage and the traditional economy in Newfoundland and 15 Labrador, and scientific research in Svalbard.

  This article examines the resilience of fisheries management institutions to the combined challenges inherent in geopolitical and climatic change. Increased emphasis on geopolitical considerations tends to make governments more, not less, inclined to seek practical management arrangements acceptable to all; and as this article argues, solutions that can accommodate underlying geopolitical tensions tend to be particularly resilient. Mechanisms that may explain this relationship include interest aggregation, as when governmental decision-makers worry that a sector dispute may escalate and spill over into issue-areas that are closer to core national interests. A second mechanism is sector-gains protection, as when fisheries officials and scientists are determined to insulate mutually advantageous institutional arrangements against the ups and downs of general political relations. Combined with a third mechanism, associated with the “malignancy” of the management problem, including the extent of free-rider incentives among participants, these mechanisms are also relevant for explaining variation among Arctic fisheries regimes in their resilience to climate change—a second test of the ability of Arctic governance processes to adapt to more demanding circumstances.

Antarctic krill Euphausia superba: spatial distribution, abundance, and management of fisheries in a changing climate. Marine Ecology Progress Series.

  Antarctic krill Euphausia superba, a keystone species in the Southern Ocean, is highly relevant for studying effects of climate-related shifts on management systems. Krill provides a key link between primary producers and higher trophic levels and supports the largest regional fishery. Any major perturbation in the krill population would have severe ecological and economic ramifications. We review the literature to determine how climate change, in concert with other environmental changes, alters krill habitat, affects spatial distribution/abundance, and impacts fisheries management. Findings recently reported on the effects of climate change on krill distribution and abundance are inconsistent, however, raising questions regarding methods used to detect changes in density and biomass. One recent study reported a sharp decline in krill densities near their northern limit, accompanied by a poleward contraction in distribution in the Southwest Atlantic sector. Another recent study found no evidence of long-term decline in krill density or biomass and reported no evidence of a poleward shift in distribution. Moreover, with predicted decreases in phytoplankton production, vertical foraging migrations to the seabed may become more frequent, also impacting krill production and harvesting. Potentially cumulative impacts of climate change further compound the management challenge faced by CCAMLR, the organization responsible for conservation of Antarctic marine living resources: to detect changes in the abundance, distribution, and reproductive performance of krill and krill-dependent predator stocks and to respond to such change by adjusting its conservation measures. Based on CCAMLR reports and documents, we review the institutional framework, outline how climate change has been addressed within this organization, and examine the prospects for further advances toward ecosystem risk assessment and an adaptive management system.

  Interplay management involves deliberate efforts by one or more actors to improve the interplay of institutions set up for earth system governance. This chapter synthesizes two decades of conceptual and empirical research on the conditions that influence the conduciveness of interplay management to earth system governance. Those conditions concern the agency and the means of management, notably whether interplay management proceeds by means of coordination or adaptation, as well as the compatibility of the policy objectives pursued. Agents of interplay management are states, intergovernmental organizations and industry- or civil-society groups, seeking to mobilize assets such as material resources, expertise or legitimacy held by one institution to promote objectives pursued under another. Means employed are frequently variants of unilateral adaptation to norms and programmes undertaken in other institutions, rather than explicit coordination involving joint decision-making. Cross-institutional coordination has obvious advantages and is particularly valuable when the institutions govern highly interdependent activities or can bring to bear complementary capacities. With clearly competitive elements present, adaptation has the advantage of triggering less turf-sensitive resistance.

  Efforts to create and implement environmental regimes to address needs for governance arising at the international or transboundary level often end in failure or produce disappointing results. Yet some efforts of this sort succeed. We construct an analytical model of such processes leading to the conclusion that an ability to steer a course avoiding the twin perils of institutional reductionism and institutional overload is necessary to achieve success in this realm. We examine risk factors or conditions likely to push processes of regime formation or implementation toward one or the other of these perils. These include conditions relating to the character the problem, institutional design, and the broader setting. We then analyze response strategies or procedures that parties can adopt to steer a course between these perils. Devising response strategies that work is necessary to achieve success in solving environmental problems. We turn to marine issues to illustrate our reasoning. But the argument is applicable to the entire range of efforts to create and implement international environmental regimes.

  The Polar North is known to be home to gas and oil reserves and its position holds trading and military advantages. In the twenty-first century the Arctic is undergoing profound change. As the sea ice melts, a result of accelerating climate change, global governance has become vital. In this, the third of three volumes, the latest research and analysis from the world's leading Arctic research body - the Fridtjof Nansen Institute - is brought together for the first time. Arctic Governance: Norway, Russia and Asia investigates the foreign policy discourses of Arctic governance, specifically as regarding international relations and competing interests between Norway, Russia and various Asian states.

  Most studies of Asian state involvement in Arctic affairs assume that shorter sea-lanes to Europe are a major driver of interest, so this article begins by examining the prominence of shipping concerns in Arctic policy statements made by major Asian states. Using a bottom-up approach, we consider the advantages of Arctic sea routes over the Suez and Panama alternatives in light of the political, bureaucratic and economic conditions surrounding shipping and shipbuilding in China, Japan and the Republic of Korea. Especially Japanese and Korean policy documents indicate soberness rather than optimism concerning Arctic sea routes, noting the remaining limitations and the need for in-depth feasibility studies. That policymakers show greater caution than analysts, links in with our second finding: in Japan and Korea, maritime-sector bureaucracies responsible for industries with Arctic experience have been closely involved in policy development, more so than in China. Thirdly, we find a clear tendency towards rising industry-level caution and restraint in all three countries, reflecting financial difficulties in several major companies as well as growing sensitivity to the economic and political risks associated with the Arctic routes. Finally, our examination of bilateral and multilateral Chinese, Japanese and Korean diplomatic activity concerning Arctic shipping exhibits a lower profile than indicated by earlier studies.

  What are the most promising options for improving the management of the world’s high seas fisheries? This Chapter first briefly examines the nature of the problem posed by the availability of commercially lucrative fish stocks on the high seas. That problem is defined primarily by the configurations of interests among governmental players such as flag States, coastal States, and port States, but also by the goals and strategies of transnational industry and environmental organizations active in the policy area. The Chapter then outlines the institutional complex that has evolved for managing this problem, highlighting not only national fisheries agencies and regional fisheries regimes but also global institutions specializing in areas other than resource management, such as international trade or the combat of trafficking in persons or drugs, or money laundering, as well as private governance initiatives like fisheries certification schemes. The substantive core of the Chapter examines the coherence of these various contributions to solving the cognitional, regulatory, and behavioral tasks of fisheries management, including whether such coherence requires explicit coordination among the component institutions. Empirically, the Chapter focuses on several regional regime complexes, including those aiming to govern high seas fisheries in the Barents Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and the Southern Ocean.

  China is widely perceived as an emerging key actor in Arctic shipping. The purpose of the article is to clarify how strong China’s engagement really is; how much of it is purely commercial, and how much is a reflection of political goals. We take a bottom-up approach, examining use of arctic sea routes from the perspectives of Chinese governmental agencies and companies, but we also place shipping in the context of China’s Arctic policy. The Arctic policy is upbeat on Arctic shipping options, subsuming them under the larger Belt and Road Initiative as a “Polar Silk Road.” However, the Chinese shipping industry’s actual moves into the region have been cautious, and mainly reflect sober commercial calculations

  This volume examines how international institutions set up to manage marine living resources are adapting to the effects of climate change on the geographic distribution of these resources. In the Barents Sea, the world’s biggest cod stock is expanding north-eastwards, while in the Nordic Seas significant changes in abundance, distribution and migration patterns can be observed in the world’s largest stocks for mackerel and herring. In the Antarctic, increasing temperatures and the associated declines in sea ice, ocean acidification and changes in circulation is likely to affect the geographical distribution of krill, the keystone species of Southern Ocean ecosystems. These developments put established international management regimes under pressure. In this interdisciplinary research volume, world-leading marine biologists, international lawyers and political scientists join efforts to study the resilience of Arctic and Antarctic marine resource management institutions to large-scale shifts of major marine stocks.

  What challenges does climate change pose to effective management of fisheries for Antarctic krill – and is the international management system dimensioned to meet those challenges? The combination of rising levels of sea temperature, acidification and ultraviolet radiation in the Southern Ocean is expected to induce a poleward shift in distribution of the Antarctic krill stock, which is by far the world’s biggest marine stock. Our knowledge about krill biology, inter-species interaction and oceanographic conditions in the Southern Ocean suggests that a poleward shift would most probably imply significant reduction of habitats suitable for krill spawning, hatching, larval survival and juvenile growth This paper reviews the institutional framework for managing krill fisheries, then examines CCAMLR’s ability to adapt conservation measures to ongoing and future climate-driven changes in the distribution and abundance of this species. The focus is placed on the need for risk assessment based on monitoring of ecosystem components potentially affected by krill fisheries and a feedback management system that links agreed conservation measures to the best available information on the status of Antarctic krill and its predators. Progress towards such a system has been impeded by inadequate monitoring activities and lack of consensus on how to allocate catch limits among management units that are small enough to account for differential predator needs. Achieving krill regulations with finer spatial resolution than in the current conservation measures will require consensus among CCAMLR members – which in turn is likely to require accommodation by both sides in the controversies of the past decade over how to balance the protection and the rational-use parts of CCAMLR's objective. This paper identifies several institutional, political and economic factors likely to promote such mutual accommodation.
