Designed to Fail
In 2015, the European Union (EU) implemented an exception to its 2009 regulations banning the trade in seal products on the basis of a moral objection to seal hunting. This exception, referred to by turns as the Indigenous exemption and the Inuit exception, the term we use here, technically permits recognized Indigenous bodies to import seal products into the EU and presents Indigenous hunting for subsistence purposes as not a moral issue compare…
The EU’s role in legitimising the stigmatisation of sealing and sealers
Seal hunting is a polarising topic, and the European Union’s 2009 ban is arguably the most high-profile and impactful statement against the practice of seal hunting on the world stage. At the same time, the stories and experiences of sealers, their families and their communities experiencing cultural and economic violence, psychological abuse and forced assimilation were, and continue to be, overshadowed by the narratives and content generated gl…
Non-violence and Activism
This paper explores the question: What does Greenpeace’s practice of non-violence during its anti-sealing campaigning reveal about the organization’s relationship with the philosophy? It highlights the complexity of what non-violence is, focusing on Greenpeace’s experience of navigating claims that it is a principled non-violent organization when its legacy of anti-sealing activism reveals that it is much more pragmatic than it would like the pub…

am a NewfouNdlaNder and have had the opportunity to research and write on a subject of much cultural significance and impact on my home-the legacy of the anti-sealing movement
The Relationship between Kanngiqtugaapik/Clyde River and Greenpeace
For six years the Town of Kanngiqtugaapik/Clyde River, Nunavut, Canada battled Canada’s National Energy Board (NEB) about its approval for seismic testing near the community (Tasker, 2017). The NEB regulates “pipelines, energy development and trade in the Canadian public interest” (National Energy Board, 2018) but in this case the NEB stood accused of circumventing the public interest of the community and failing to do proper, and mandatory, cons…

Diplomacy and the Arctic Council
When the Russian-Ukrainian conflict over the Crimea region erupted in 2014, serious concerns were raised as to the implications and impacts of this conflict on Arctic cooperation. Through Ukraine is not in the Arctic region, it is a partner state of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the defence treaty alliance originally set up to counter the rise of communism and the security threat coming from the Soviet Union. All the Arctic states, w…
Re-establishing legitimacy after stigmatization
International environmental non-governmental organizations (IENGOs) have a long and checkered history of involvement and impact in, and on, the North. Using the example of Greenpeace, arguably one of the most stigmatized IENGOs in the North American North, this paper explores the questions: why are IENGOs stigmatized in the North American North and how might they overcome their stigma with local audiences? It outlines the role of moral legitimacy…
Canadian High Arctic Research Station and Cambridge Bay
Cambridge Bay, a town in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut, is the host of Polar Knowledge Canada’s (POLAR) new research station: the Canadian High Arctic Research Station (CHARS). On 8 November 2018, I had the opportunity to talk with Marla Limousin, Senior Administrative Officer for the Municipality of Cambridge Bay, to get her reflections on CHARS and what it means for the local community
Club Diplomacy in the Arctic
The Arctic Council is frequently called a unique forum but, as this article argues, clubs are common in international politics and in many respects the Arctic Council is a club. This article explores the questions: Why are the Arctic states acting like a club in Arctic politics, and how do internal hierarchies influence how clubs make decisions? As the article illustrates, clubs are the stage for club diplomacy and, in club diplomacy, hierarchies…
International Disputes and Cultural Ideas in the Canadian Arctic
This book explores the dramatic split between the appearance of absent-minded governance, bordering on indifference toward the region, and the raging nationalism during moments of actual and perceived challenge toward the imagined “Canadian Arctic region” by analyzing the complexities and evolution of the Canadian-Arctic relationship. Using Canada as the focus for the analysis, the purpose of this project is to contribute to the existing Arctic s…
Lock, Stock, and Icebergs
Adam Lajeunesse’s new book, "Lock, Stock, and Icebergs: A History of Canada’s Arctic Maritime Sovereignty" provides an interesting and detailed account of the history of Canada’s approach toward establishing sovereignty over the waters of the Arctic region. The book primarily focuses on Canada efforts to establish the Northwest Passage as Canada’s historic internal waters and the role that its bilateral relationship with the United States plays i…
Becoming an Arctic Council NGO observer
This paper explores the question: How is the NGO observer application process to the Arctic Council influenced by perceptions of legitimacy of the applicant? Using information gleamed from numerous interviews we map out the application process for NGO observer status in the Arctic Council. In addition to the formal criteria, we argue that Arctic states have a set of informal criteria for evaluating NGO observer applications, and that the evaluati…
Singapore’s Use of Education as a Soft Power Tool in Arctic Cooperation
Singapore is expert at using education as a means of projecting soft power internationally. For years, it has offered free and subsidized education opportunities in Southeast Asia, and now, with its interests in the Arctic, it is offering education opportunities to indigenous peoples as a way to involve itself in regional governance
Bridging Troubled Waters
This article seeks to provide insight into the formulation of non-governmental organization (NGO) and transnational advocacy network (TAN) campaign strategy. We argue that the history of previous campaigns comprises an important aspect of the political opportunity structure faced by NGOs and TANs. We also argue that when formulating campaign strategy, campaigners should not only consider the legacies of previous campaigns, but also how their curr…
