What is left of development in the Arctic?
Is sust ainable development a utopia in the Arctic? Is development in the Arctic mo re unsustainable than sustainable?  Sustainable development, a popular idea of balanced, equal and participatory development, dominates the debates about the region. Even research about the region often takes s ustainable development as a starting point.  However, the progress tow ards reaching this goal seems slow and sustainable development unreachable. These observations make us ask:  What makes development sustainable i n the Arctic in different political, economic and social contexts? Wha t kind of social and political imaginaries we have and should have for the Arctic? Do our imaginaries match our means and practices? Are there any att ractive, viable alternatives for sustainable development? How do different imaginaries motivate or improve current policies and strategies? What kinds of missed voices and ideas there are about development in the Arctic? How do emotions of hope, fear and uncertainty relate to the Arctic future?
 
Papers and presentations covering different aspects of Arctic developments critically are welcome. The event will be organized in connect ion to the Arctic spirit conference 2019, after the conference 14-15. 11.20 19 at the Arctic Centre, University of Lapland, Finland.
 
< strong>Keynote speaker
Our keynote speaker will be professor Reetta Toivanen (HELSUS, University of Helsinki, Finland). The topic of her talk will be “European fantasies on the Arctic”.
 
The pres entation address the paradigm that places the people  living in the Ar ctic area, still centuries after the voyages of Pytheas (325 BC) and other European explores, as the object of a European fantasy.  Residents of the Arctic are in this paradigm framed as guardians of the treasure chest t hat is the Arctic and as an ancient people of ‘nature’ rather than “culture ” and thus doomed to the unpolitical. The presentation will discuss the dif ferent political, economic and military interests that intertwined with thi s fantasy and ask who could be the beneficiary of the development projects.
