The UArctic Thematic Network on Arctic Law and the UArctic Chair in Arctic Legal Research and Education are pleased to announce the call for papers for the 10th Volume of the Current Developments in Arctic Law (2022).

Year 2022 marks the tenth anniversary of the Current
Developments in Arctic Law (CDAL). Over the years, law and policy toward the Arctic
have noticed crucial advancements in response to the region’s novel challenges.
In addition to environmental and climate change-related consequences, the regional
geopolitical reframing and the impacts of great power political dynamics influencing
the Arctic tend to result in a shift in Arctic governance.

The
Volume will include a special theme – Arctic governance: crafting a new
normal? 

However, the Volume welcomes contributions
beyond the special theme. The expected contributions are short papers on current
issues related to Arctic law, policy, politics, regional and institutional aspects,
etc. Examples of contributions are short academic articles, review papers,
popularized narratives of research findings, a summary of research or other projects
initiated, conference or seminar reports or analysis of news stories.

The publication is non-peer-reviewed but considered scientific. CDAL is an
open-access publication. The ideal length of the contribution should be between 500
and 3000 words. However, longer pieces are also welcome. The Volume is expected to
release in December 2022.

Submit your contributions
to Kamrul Hossain at khossain@ulapland.fi,  deadline for submission is
November 10, 2022.
