BCS 100 Module 8: Stewardship of Resources & Sustainable Development
Get PDFThis module will give you a brief overview of renewable and non-renewable resources, resource exploitation and stewardship challenges. It is important to focus on analytical concepts and approaches to problem solving because it will enable you to gain an essential understanding of how to manage resource extraction and resource use and the resulting environmental effects.
We will also use an interdisciplinary approach in presenting the concepts in this module. That is to say, we use many different disciplines to explain resource extraction and management.
The module begins by briefly explaining the distinction between renewable and non-renewable natural resources in the context of common property, and the differences in how resources are managed. The module then examines three different resource management models, international cooperation, and constraints to implementing international policy at the local level
BCS 100 Module 9: Northern Governance
Get PDFThis module will explore the multifaceted and complex governing structures of the Arctic region, how these structures relate to one another, and the importance of
these structures to the future of the Circumpolar North. The required reading focuses on devolution and local governance structures. We, therefore, balance this with
module information on supranational governance structures in the North – those that transcend established national boundaries or spheres of interest. Together, the reading and the module should provide you with a good introduction to the very complex world of Northern governance

BCS 100 Module 10: Geopolitics, Security and International Society
Get PDFThe aim of this module is twofold: first to give an overview and basic information on geopolitics, security, international relations - particularly international cooperation - and the recent key changes as they pertain to the circumpolar North; and second, interrelations between the circumpolar North and international society, and how the region is seen in world politics.
The module describes the main categories of international actors (of the international system), and those of the circumpolar North, with their multi-functional interests at the early-21st century. The module also briefly presents how geopolitics has been present and is implemented in the
circumpolar North. Next, the module presents the main paradigms and discourses on security and security studies, and how they are presented and implemented in the circumpolar North.
The module also describes both the main features of the Cold War geopolitics and international politics, and the main themes, or trends, of circumpolar geopolitics and international relations, particularly different categories and levels of international cooperation in the post-Cold War period. Similarly, the module describes and discusses the role of the circumpolar North and the possibilities to influence world politics and international society. Finally, the module describes and analyzes the recent multi-functional changes of circumpolar geopolitics, and ecognizes what might
be interpreted to be key indicators of the changing geopolitics of the early-21st century’s North
BCS 100 Module 5: Contemporary Economic Activity
Get PDFEconomic forces play a significant role in today’s northern economies and have shaped northern lives from a time when subsistence activities predominated. Today, globalization is
bringing much focus to the vast renewable and non-renewable resources in the North including wildlife, fisheries and oceans, and mineral, oil and gas development. This module examines how economic activity is changing as a result of climate change, and how the contemporary economy is juxtaposed with the traditional subsistence economy. In both cases, social wellbeing is dependent upon renewable and non-renewable resources, and is governed by policy that
defines how these resources are used
