About Security and Socio-Economic Inequalities in the North
For over a decade, the concept of security in the Arctic has expanded beyond traditional military concerns and is inclusive of a range of issues, including those affecting human and economic security, for example. Concerns such as these are often addressed though different policies. In 2019, Canada released its Arctic and Northern Policy Framework (ANPF) that takes a more holistic approach to policy development, encompassing several areas, including but not limited to health, education, the economy, and traditional security. Priorities from territorial and Inuit partners are also expressed through their own chapters. This presentation examines different socio-economic inequalities in relation to the ANPF and argues that unless they are adequately addressed, they contribute to insecurity in the Canadian North.
