Arctic: How do polar bears, crude oil and ethnicity go together?

The Arctic is often in the headlines: starving polar bears on melting ice, the reckless hunt for raw materials, an increase in shipping, and the dispute over seal hunting. How should protecting the fragile ecosystem and the indigenous peoples who live there also be achieved? Kristina Schönfeldt from the University of Bonn has now edited a book that offers a systematic insight into the legal issues in this seemingly remote corner of the earth.
