I was flattered to be interviewed by the Polar Research and Policy Initiative (PRPI) about our book on Arctic Marine Resource Governance and Development that came out a few months ago.  It’s a terrific organization for cultivating and disseminating Polar research, with the ambition and scope to assist policy development across a wide range of important Polar issues under one integrated, interdisciplinary framework, and I recommend you check it out! Full disclosure: I’m a fellow there.

You can see the transcript of the interview here.

I’ll be providing some information about the various chapters in the book in the coming weeks, but here’s a table of contents to whet your appetite:
