Still in its formative stages, LISD’s initiative on the Arctic is an interdisciplinary, multi-phase project focusing on issues including energy, natural resources and environmental concerns, strategic interests of the Arctic States, law and policy development, self-determination of indigenous peoples, and the global shipping trade. This project on the Arctic region will incorporate the perspectives of various groups including state and non-state actors, as well as great, medium, and small powers. The multidimensional aspects of this study of the Arctic demands an interdisciplinary approach and will include collaborators from a variety of Princeton University departments, as well as collaborators from other domestic and international organizations and universities.
