Thanks to Joël Plouffe and Heather Exner-Pirot. They have compiled a list of major Arctic related events and developments. 2017 was really an eventful year! What might bring the remaining three months of this year?!
The Arctic Yearbook 2017 is out. It includes several law-related articles.
E.g.,
Robert P. Wheelersburg & Sean Melvin, Indigenous Intellectual Property Rights in the Arctic
Malgorzata (Gosia) Smieszek, The Agreement on Enhancing International Arctic Scientific Cooperation: From Paper to Practice
