Stories, also called narratives, are accounts of everyday events, grand stories of the beginnings of life, and sense-making explanations about the world.

A narrative approach offers a critical tool to discuss the power of IR narratives to imagine the Arctic in certain ways, for example, as a regional, governable entity, a site of global economic circulation and a particular object of global environmental governance.
