Bi-polar disorder? Is bioprospecting an emerging issue for the arctic as well as for Antarctica?
Bioprospecting has recently emerged as a new challenge for environmental governance in Antarctica. While considerable attention now surrounds this issue in Antarctica, there has been little, if any, debate on the question of whether bioprospecting is also an issue requiring a policy or regulatory re...
