Sammendrag
This introductory essay synthesises the contributions to this special 5
issue on polar regions and multi-level governance, showing how
they address three important themes in the study of institutional
complexes: interplay management; the influence that global institutions
and processes exert on regional regimes; and the ways in
which states and other actors pursue their interests within com- 10
plexes of institutions. The institutional complexes in focus here
comprise institutions relevant to Arctic Ocean governance, EU–
Arctic relationships, Arctic maritime boundary disputes, the
Antarctic Treaty System (including CCAMLR), the preservation of
cultural heritage and the traditional economy in Newfoundland and 15
Labrador, and scientific research in Svalbard.
