New Mobilities and Social Changes in Russia's Arctic Regions cover

This book provides the first in-depth, multidisciplinary study of re-urbanization in Russia’s Arctic regions, with a specific focus on new mobility patterns, and the resulting birth of new urban Arctic identities in which newcomers and labor migrants form a rising part of. It is an invaluable reference for all those interested in current trends in circumpolar regions, showing how the Arctic region is becoming more diverse culturally, but also more integrated into globalized trends in terms of economic development, urban sustainability and migration.

"The book is an excellent piece of collective work and a must read for all those concerned with or interested in Arctic societies. By bringing forward complexity, dynamics and contradictions of northern mobilities, the book has a potential to mobilise new social research in the Russian Arctic and beyond."
Andrey N. Petrov, Director, ARCTICenter and Associate Professor, University of Northern Iowa, USA
