Tracks across the Tundra: Making a Living from Nature in the Borderland of the Russian Northwest
By drawing on our experiences from living in this part of the world and by comparing developments on each side of the Norwegian-Russian border, we apply a broad contextual and place-oriented approach to study this subarctic borderland. We ask what characterizes the differences found when comparing S...
