Anotace knihy

The Northern peripheries of Europe, which are covered by this book are associated with remoteness, the frontier, isolated communities, colonialism and resource extraction. Recently, mega projects in petroleum and hydropower have been located there and the region has become known as an attractive tourist destination. Although they are perceived as being marginal, they are inhabited spaces which are linked into globalisation and international agendas. This book examines how people live in such remote spaces in an emerging global world of connectivity, interdependency, mobility and non-linear dynamics.The various case studies examine a wide range of experiences, ranging from tourists and local settlers to those who migrate for labour in old or new industries, or to pursue the hybrid urban/rural life of the periphery.It demonstrates how specific relationships between mobility and place are crucial in the making of societies. In this book, mobility and place come together, and it investigates their intersection; how they mutually constitute each other. It studies attempts to reinvent places, together with connections and the opening of 'new scapes' in order to sustain businesses, municipalities and people's livelihood.
