The Arctic has a long history of extractive industry activity that shaped local communities and regional economies
Informal rules are still prevalent and favorable to stronger stakeholders. Several articles in this Special Issue examine specific methodologies of extractive industry impacts assessment and compensation used in Arctic Russia as a part of the benefit sharing system, and especially focus on the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) as Russia’s Arctic region with the most elaborate legal system of benefit sharing arrangements
