(EnergyAsia, November 26, Wednesday) — ‘Arctic Oil and Gas – Sustainability at Risk?’, written by Aslaug Mikkelsen and Oluf Langhelle, analyses the expanding oil and gas activities in the Arctic from the perspective of sustainable development and corporate social responsibility.

The book focuses on the territories of the Arctic Rim where current and future oil and gas activities are and will be located.

Divided into three parts, the book raises a number of questions including how sustainable development has been framed in the Arctic and the interaction between indigenous peoples, governments and oil and gas companies.

In the first part of the book, oil and gas activities are discussed through the concepts of sustainable development and corporate social responsibility together with the challenge of climate change.

The second part consists of case studies from Alaska, Canada, Norway and Russia where oil and gas exploration and production activities are discussed. The final part draws together materials from the country studies in a comparative manner.
