The Analytical Importance of Property Rights to Northern Resources
"In contrast to the southern Arctic regions of the earth (Antarctica), the north has not been set aside as a 'global commons' under some sort of fragile International Regime. For thousands of years opportunistic harvesting of the seemingly unlimited riches of these northern areas has...
