The book creates an augmented knowledge about human security beyond the warfare concept in the Arctic. It analyzes international political analysis on security issues and their spillovers to the Arctic societies.

The multi-contributed book helps to conceptualize and create knowledge on democratic businesses as a human security issue. Adopting a comparative approach, it provides detailed analysis of democratic business in Iceland, Greenland, Arctic Canada, and Alaska. In a comparative economic systems analysis, the aim of this book is to introduce the reader to the new traditional economy in an Arctic Context. The readers will get an overview of different security approaches and approaches to promoting the new traditional economy’s emphasis on Aborigine traditions for commonhood, common or non-ownership, cooperation, and local community.

The book is multidisciplinary and will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of social sciences, security studies, human security, international political economy, international political science, ecological science, economics, organization theory, and sociology.
