It provides insights on the real-world experiences and structural factors affecting immigrants in the Arctic, unpacking complex relationships between people, place, and policy.This book will be of interest to researchers and policymakers working in fields such as migration studies, political science, environmental studies, sociology, economics, and human geography.
