The seminar will also explore how institutions coping with Arctic challenges have evolved, how changes in Arctic law and governance influence Arctic residents’ life and Arctic societies as collectives, and whether these developments and Arctic governance experiences could provide lessons for other regions.
Distinguished Prof. J.B. Ruhl from Vanderbilt University Law School, will share his experience on adaptive law and governance.
