Preface
The completion of this book is an outcome of the research that was conducted as part of the three-year-long international research project: Enablement besides Constraints: Human Security and a Cyber Multi-Disciplinary Framework in the European High North (ECoHuCy). The project is a part of the “society, integrity and cyber- security” theme of the Nordic Societal Security Programme run by NordForsk – an organisation under the Nordic Council of Ministers that promotes Nordic cooperation on research and its infrastructure.
The project was hosted at the Northern Institute for Environmental and Minority Law, Arctic Centre, University of Lapland (Rovaniemi, Finland). Project partners were the University of Tromsø – the Arctic University of Norway, Swansea University (United Kingdom) and the Institute for Security and Development Policy (Sweden). The project was carried out from January 2017 to December 2019. This book represents a synthesis report of the research conducted during the project. As some of the empirical research work is still being analysed, and some outcomes have not yet been published, parts of the book contain preliminary findings or refer to articles or books that will be published soon.
