The Arctic of Regions
The Arctic emerged, and continues to be defined, by its collection of sub-regions, and the
consequent regionalism (Exner-Pirot, 2013). A series of 20
th
anniversaries, from the Barents Euro
Arctic Region (BEAR) to the Swedish Sami Parliament, occurred in 2013, commemorating a period
that saw organizational development among indigenous groups, scientific associations and along
various northern European maritime and land borders.
