In organizing the conference, we were concerned to explore the challenges of governance in the North American Arctic. We set out to consider those challenges in the context of the legacies of the past, the constraints of the present, and the differing (and more liq- uid) constraints of an unknown future ecology. While the structure of this book is different to that of the conference, it has been informed byourreflectingupontheconferencepapersandthediscussionsabout them.Throughouttheconferenceandthepreparationofthisbook,we havetriedalwaystokeepinviewthehistoricalrootsanddevelopment of the North American Arctic as we have the fact that those roots and that development are viewed and understood differently by different peoples,states,andinterestsinvolvedinthesmallestoftheworld’sfive majoroceans. The conference could not have occurred without generous finan- cial and in-kind support from the Rothermere American Institute, St Antony’sCollege,theLesterB.PearsonFundoftheUniversityofOxford, the New York Community Trust, the US Embassy in the United King- dom, and the Canadian High Commission in the United Kingdom. To these supporters, we give our thanks – as we do to the Rothermere AmericanInstituteforitsassistancewithdefrayingsomeofthecostsof preparing this book from the papers that participants developed from thosethattheygaveattheconferenceitself. We are indebted to our colleagues, whose chapters appear in this book,fortheirinsightsandcommitment;toProfessorsNeilMacFarlane and Margaret MacMillan for their intellectual and organizational sup- portandsteadyencouragement;andtoourrespectivefamiliesfortheir forbearance. vii Contributors DawnAlexandreaBerryisPostdoctoralFellowinForeignPolicy,Secu- rity Studies, and Diplomatic History at the Mario Einaudi Center for InternationalStudies,CornellUniversity,US.Shereceivedherdoctorate inhistoryfromtheUniversityofOxford,UK.
