  • Japan's Withdrawal from International Whaling Regulation

    "This book examines the impact and implications of Japan's withdrawal from the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW), which came into effect in July 2019. In 1982 the International Whaling Commission (IWC) adopted a moratorium on commercial whaling which has been in effect ever since, despite the resistance of some countries, first and foremost Japan, Norway and Iceland, that engage in commercial whaling. As one of the key…

    Open AccessNikolas P Sellheim, Nikolas Sellheim et al.EDITORBOOKArctic Triumph2019

    This book approaches the challenges the Arctic has faced and is facing through a lens of opportunity. Through pinpointed examples from and dealing with the Circumpolar North, the Arctic is depicted as a region where people and peoples have managed to endure despite significant challenges at hand.

  • Early sealing regimes

    Open AccessNikolas Sellheim, Nikolas P SellheimARTICLEPolar Record2016References: 5

    Environmental management had its early stages in the early years of the 20th century. This note contrasts the different regimes that emerged with regard to the management of seals and the seal hunt: the well-researched Bering Sea regime and the little known regimes between Finland and the Soviet Union. While the former shaped and already embedded principles of modern environmental law and has the seal population as its primary focus, the latter a…

  • Black and Viking metal

    Open AccessNikolas Sellheim, Nikolas P SellheimARTICLEPolar Record2016Cited by: 3References: 5

    For centuries the Arctic has served as a stage of imagination and has inspired countless artists in different ways. Also the music genre of heavy metal frequently utilises the ‘north’ and the Arctic. This paper briefly explores how two heavy metal subgenres, black metal and Viking metal, approach and utilise narratives associated with the ‘north’. By using lyrics of black and Viking metal bands, different forms of utilisation come to the fore, ra…

  • The goals of the EU seal products trade regulation

    Open AccessNikolas Sellheim, Nikolas P SellheimARTICLEPolar Record2015Cited by: 4References: 11

    When policies are adopted, it seems reasonable to assume that they address a certain issue and provide means to mitigate specific problems. This seems the case with the EU's regime on trade in seal products, but it becomes evident that the goal formulation in this case is blurry and unclear. Taking animal welfare, the so-called ‘Inuit exemption’, and internal market harmonisation into account, this article examines the goals of the seal products …

  • The present and future competence of the European Union in the Arctic

    Open AccessTimo Koivurova, Kai Kokko et al.ARTICLEPolar Record2012Cited by: 4

    The European Union's (EU's) intention of becoming a permanent observer in the Arctic Council and the reluctance of Arctic actors to grant it that status have made the union's aspirations in the Arctic the subject of a continuing debate. The discussion appears to be dominated by geographical considerations and the EU's gradually emerging Arctic policy. This article puts forward a different view of the EU's presence in the region, one drawing on an…
