Abstract:
The politics of international law should be seen as a constant condition of international affairs within which the practices of international law and world politics unfold. This work aims to uncover several ways to understand the politics of international law, and in particular, to understand how law and politics interact within extended foreign policy sequences. These long foreign policy episodes are generally centered on a particular component, or body of, international law. Yet they are also subject to numerous elements and functions of international law which give form and content to a state’s policy development. These include complex compliance decisions, repeated public justifications over the terms of legal validity, learning what the law requires to meet thresholds of compliance, and states’ engaging in forms of legal rhetoric known as creative legal arguments: legal justifications that attempt to change international law when states face difficult policy choices. These various areas of international law highlight, in part, how international law ‘works’, or has effects within world politics. This project attempts to consolidate recent scholarship in this subject area by employing eclectic theorizing to explain the politics of international law as it unfolds in policy deliberation and choice. This task involves utilizing many insights from social constructivism and critical international legal theory, but also capturing the central ideas of legal realism, rationalism, and interactionalism in their ability to explain compliance decisions. From this point of departure, this work attempts to build theoretical bridges through a genuine interdisciplinary engagement with international relations and international law. Such an endeavor brings clarity to empirical events and historical legal phenomena. To demonstrate this claim, the analysis offered evaluates the foreign policy sequence in Canadian legal policy over the Arctic waters known as the Northwest Passage, a forty year legal dispute between Canada and the United States. The case study sheds light on how international law-making unfolds over time, by virtue of the numerous iterations between Canada and the United States in bi-lateral settings, international conferences, and the third codification conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to counterargue Simon Dalby’s claim that the national security perspective should be replaced by a global security perspective. Dalby argues that the national security is inappropriate to capture the current issues regarding the environmental security. To counterargue Dalby’s claim, I represent the national security perspective by using the perspective of states’ energy security, and compare current trends and issues regarding states’ energy security and the environmental security. This is done to argue that states can either chose to enhance their own energy security or the environmental security. Prisoners' Dilemma is then used as a theoretical framework on an explanatory example to provide insights about a dilemma, called the Energy- Environment Dilemma in this thesis, that curbs states’ ability to commit themselves to the cause of protecting the environmental security. The explanatory example used is the strategic importance of the Northwest passage for the U.S. and Canada. The results of this thesis suggests that the national security perspective, in combination with Prisoners’ Dilemma, is useful to provide insights about the Energy-Environmental Dilemma. Replacing it with a global security perspective would be to ignore a perspective which can provide insights about a challenge for states to commit to the cause of protecting the environmental security.

Abstract:
Climate change, with the possibility of an ice free Arctic ocean by 2015, has generated a renewed interest in the Arctic. This interest is being driven by the possibility of easier access to the abundant supply of resources such as oil, gas, minerals, and fisheries. Interest in Arctic tourism is also growing. Retreating sea ice will provide opportunities to avail of shorter routes for maritime traffic to and from Asia, North America, and Asia via the Arctic Ocean and Northwest Passage. In addition, the rate of population growth of local inhabitants in the Canadian Arctic is the fastest in Canada and one of the fastest in the world. A growing population will increase the demand for sealift resupply to Canada's northern communities. This work presents the first attempt to examine the role of privatization of icebreaking services in light of the present and projected shortages of infrastructure to support development in the Arctic. A unique combination of multiple methods within marine transportation, comprising of Delphi, grounded theory, and quantitative survey, is applied to investigate the potential for private involvement in the delivery of icebreaking services in the Canadian Arctic. This includes a novel application of Strauss and Corbin's Grounded Theory approach to develop hypotheses and relationships grounded in expert opinion. Although the Arctic Ocean may be ice free during the summers, there is still the issue of winter freezing and the threat of lingering multi-year ice which will impede marine transportation especially during periods of darkness and fog. The research shows that the future growth and development of the Canadian Arctic will undoubtedly require the use of designated icebreakers and ice strengthened vessels. However, Canada's fleet of Arctic icebreakers is ageing and considered unsuitable for future demands. While Canada has earmarked CAD $750M for the construction of one new icebreaker scheduled for delivery in 2017, the research shows that Icebreakers can be built outside of Canada for considerably less money and in less time. Also, the management and operation of the Canadian Coast Guard is under considerable security by the Auditor General of Canada. The research shows that not unlike others Arctic nations, there is potential for the creation of private-public partnerships in the delivery of Canadian Coast Guard services, principally icebreaking, in the Arctic.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to analyse which navigational rights are applicable to foreign commercial vessels performing trans-arctic shipping through the Northwest Passage and how this affects the potential for Canada, through article 234 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), to issue national environmental legislation regulating pollution from ships. This is done through the method of legal dogmatics, characterised by analysis of the sources of law and the hierarchy between them. In this paper, the main sources of law employed are UNCLOS and relevant case law from the International Court of Justice. The main conclusions presented in the paper are that the Northwest Passage consists of a combination of territorial sea and exclusive economic zone, which generally means that commercial vessels are allowed innocent passage through the parts of the passage forming the territorial sea and are largely subject to freedom of navigation through those parts that form the exclusive economic zone. However, it seems likely that the Northwest Passage is a strait used for international navigation, in which case, the vessels passing through it are instead subject to the regime of transit passage. This would negatively affect the possibility for Canada to issue national legislation to regulate pollution from foreign vessels. However, as long as the Northwest Passage is covered by ice for most of the year, article 234 UNCLOS allows Canada far more leeway in regard to issuing anti-pollution legislation, both in the territorial sea and the exclusive economic zone, regardless of whether the Northwest Passage is found to be a strait used for international navigation. The passage regime applicable to foreign commercial vessels under article 234 could be characterised as a sui generis passage.

Full text
Abstract:

While the primary goal of the northwest Alaska Native village maternal transport program is safe deliveries for mothers from remote villages, little has been done to examine the impact of transport on the mothers and communities involved. I explore how present values (Western and Iñupiat cultural values) can influence the desire of indigenous women of differing eras and northwest Alaska villages to participate in biomedical birth practices, largely as made available by a tribal health-sponsored patient transport system. The work that follows portrays the varying influences on these women and their communities as they determine the level of importance for mothers to get to the hospital to deliver. I have enlisted viewpoints of Alaska Native families and women of different generations from various Iñupiat villages to help paint a picture of the situation. With this research, I ask, how do generations of mothers, transport situations, and villages compare in terms of experiences during the processes of these Iñupiat women becoming mothers? What gender, ethnicity, and power interplays exist in this dynamic helix of social and political elements (embodiment) during their periods of liminality? What are influences (biomedical and community) that contribute to a woman's transition to motherhood in this community? Moreover, how do women, families, and community members perceive the maternal transport policy today? I examine how the transport policy figures into stages of liminality, as these mothers and communities produce future generations. With theoretical frameworks provided by medical anthropology and maternal identity work, I track the differences concerning the maternal transport operation for Iñupiat mothers of the area. I compare the influences of cultural value systems present in each of the communities by birth era and location. Using content analysis to determine common themes, I found connections among presence of Iñupiat values, community acceptance of maternal transport, and expressed desire for community autonomy in maternal health care.

Full text
Abstract:
The superbly exposed Rocknest Formation, Wopmay Oroqen, N.W.T., Canada, is an early Proterozoic (l.B9 Ga) passivemargin carbonate platform. It is an eastward-thinning prism, 0 to 1,100 m thick, extending for over 220 km parallel to strike, and over 200 k.m perpendicular to strike. It contains from west to east, slope, outer-shelf, shoaloomplex, and inner-shelf facies. Slope facies are rhythmites, megabreccias and rhythmite breccias. Outershelf faciea include stromatolitic reefal boundstone and backreef ooid/intraclast grainstore. Shoal-complex facies are shallowing-upward cycles of tufa, cryptalgalaminite, laminated dolosiltite/lutite, overlain by tepees, breccias and pisolite; these formed a paleotopographic high, restricting an eastern "lagoon" from western ocean. Innershelf facies are dominantly asymmetric, shallowing-upward cycles of "lagoonal" mixed carbonates and siliciclastics, that grade up into intertidal stromatolitic dolomites; cyclic facies pass eastward into non—cyclic siliclastics of central and eastern "lagoon". The shelf was terminally drovmed during attempted subduction of the margin. Individual cycles are correlatable for over 200 km parallel to strike and over 120 Ion perpendicular to strike. Cycles formed in response to small, asymmetric (rapid rise/slow fall) eustatic oscillaticns in sea-level (= 10 m). An alpine glacio-eustatic model accounts for the origin of cycles best. During sea-level rise, rapid transgression and submergence of tidal flats occurred along eastern margin of the shoal-complex, followed by eastward expansion of the shoal—complex, and slow progradation of tidal flats over lagoonal facies during sea-level fall. Computer modelling of Rocknest cycle types across the platform provides important information on absolute l sedimentation rates and lag times.

Full text
Abstract:
In the Northern Athabaskan languages Tlicho Yatiì, Dene and Dene Dzage, copulas and auxiliary verbs are based on reflexes of two Proto-Athabaskan roots, *-LII and *-T’E’. I propose that in the first two languages, copulas with nominal complements show distributional differences that derive from a stage-/individual-level predicate distinction, and that historically, this distinction in the proto-language motivated the development of auxiliaries marking tense/aspect/mode distinctions solely from the copulas based on *-LII. Further, I propose that subsequent to this development, the original stage-/individual-level predicate distinction between the copulas disappeared in Dene Dzage, leaving the TAM markers as evidence of its historical existence. I provide support for these contentions with data from fieldwork in Tlicho Yatiì and from textual sources in all three languages, grounding the work in current theories of syntax and of temporal grammar.

Abstract:
AbstractThe objective of this chapter is to give insight in marine governance challenges, illustrated by Arctic shipping. To do this, this chapter presents a theory of marine governance as reflexive institutionalization, in which the structural properties of marine governance arrangements are (re)produced in interactions between governmental actors, maritime sectors and civil society actors within the structural conditions of the networked polity at sea. Based on an analysis of the institutionalization of shipping governance arrangements of three (possible) Arctic shipping routes; The Northwest Passage (NWP), the Northeast Passage and Northern Sea Route (NEP/NSR), and the Transpolar Sea Route (TSR) the following question will be answered, “What are the enabling and constraining conditions of marine governance as reflexive institutionalization?” In other words, what are the possibilities for public and private actors to challenge discursive spaces and to change the rules of the game, in order to find solutions for environmental, spatial, economic, and social problems at the Arctic Ocean? The analysis shows forms of institutionalization as structural reflectiveness in which the dominant discourse ‘shipping is allowed in the Arctic’ is not challenged. However, this form of reflectiveness showed how actors, such as China and Russia, are able the use rules from different institutional settings to strengthen their position.

Abstract:
AbstractCanada’s Oceans Protection Plan (OPP) is a comprehensive initiative launched by the Government of Canada to enhance marine safety, protect marine ecosystems, engage with coastal communities, and improve evidence-based decision-making. The OPP focuses on safeguarding Canadian coasts and waterways by implementing measures to prevent and respond to marine incidents, supporting research and innovation, and establishing stronger Indigenous partnerships to address maritime concerns and promote sustainable marine practices. Under the Oceans Protection Plan, Transport Canada’s Cumulative Effects of Marine Shipping (CEMS) initiative has been working in seven regions of Canada to assess and address the regional cumulative effects of marine shipping, in partnership with Indigenous peoples and guided by the principles of reconciliation. The goal of this chapter is to showcase how area-based management (ABM) is applied in the CEMS initiative by first providing background on the CEMS initiative from a broad perspective and then examining linkages between the initiative and ABM approaches. A case study is described from one regional CEMS assessment being conducted along a section of the Northwest Passage in southern Victoria Island, Nunavut, which resulted in the development of a voluntary measure using an ABM approach to mitigate the impacts of icebreaking activities on caribou migration and hunter safety.

Full text
Abstract:
An analysis was carried out to determine the duration of the summer shipping season for Deepwater vessels transiting through the Northwest Passage Route. The most likely route segment to obstruct shipping is in Viscount Melville Sound, which is typically characterized by the presence of high concentration mixtures of the deformed, thick first-year and multiyear ice. The period for ship transits through the Passage is determined from the computer-based analysis of digital Canadian Ice Service weekly ice charts which are available from the late 1960s to the present. Automated computer-based algorithms were developed to estimate the number of if any, weeks with ice conditions that would successfully allow transit. The results show a very large year-to-year variability in the duration of the summer shipping season with the trend towards slightly improving ice conditions. The possibility of future increases in old ice concentrations in western and central portions of Parry Channel due to an apparent trend towards more rapid passage of this old ice through the Queen Elizabeth Islands to the north may impede ship passages in the next decade by comparison with the last decade or two.

Abstract:
Abstract For decades the Northwest Passage (NWP) has been a formidable challenge for the shipping and maritime industries. Arctic community resupply and export of Arctic resources by ship has been seen as the viable in the summer season. Changing ice conditions and the new ability to process high volumes of data in real time has allowed the quantification of risk and determination of the required ship strengthening to a specific ice class notation for seasonal and year-round export planning. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has provided a methodology to assess the risk of operating a ship in a specific ice regime, as seen from the bridge, or as reported in an ice chart. An ice regime, from a navigation standpoint, is the ice that the ship will likely encounter and defines several important factors including the ice-concentration, thickness, age, state of decay, and roughness. The authors have developed methods to convert ice charts into maps using the IMO POLARIS risk assessment methodology. By processing decades of ice charts, the trends of changing ice and the variation in ship access through the NWP was determined. Focusing on critical resource development locations, routes and the ships needed for seasonal and year-round export have been developed. This paper provides an examination of the viability of various routes through the NWP for a series of ships of different ice class using the IMO POLARIS methodology. The results are presented in terms of the most recent 5-year averaged ice condition. The 5-year averaged ice conditions are compared to a 10-year dataset to highlight and contrast past and current ice conditions. Risk maps for recent individual years are also presented to illustrate year on year variability of ice conditions. Observations are drawn from the plots to summarize the necessary ice class for year-round NWP transit, and also ship traffic for specific locations (eg. Alaska North Slope LNG shipment to Asia with a 5-month (September to January) shipping window). This paper provides the answer to "What ice class ship is needed to operate in specific locations the Arctic at different times of the year.?"

Abstract:
This study evaluates the feasibility of using air cushion vehicles (ACV’s) as year-round patrol craft in the Canadian Arctic, focusing on key areas along the Northwest Passage from the Beaufort Sea to Lancaster Sound. The study concludes that there is no fundamental technical limitation or operating constraint preventing hovercraft from serving year-round in a Canadian Arctic environment, as long as the design and specification re drawn up with specific attention to the expected marine and ice operating environments.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to find what effect climate change would have on the Zone Date System (ZDS). The paper presents an analysis of ice conditions in the Northwest Passage (NWP) shipping lanes and the access routes to the Port of Churchill in Hudson Strait. The analysis examines the existing and potential changes to ice regimes in the NWP shipping lanes due to the impact of climate change. The length of the shipping season in the NWP is analyzed for each Zone by both the ZDS and the Arctic Ice Regime Shipping System, and both systems are then compared. This paper discusses the results of the analysis.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper describes the influence of testing properties (test rig stiffness and PID controller settings) on the uniaxial compression test of granular laboratory-made ice in a single-factor design experiment. Global warming causes the decline of sea ice in the Arctic regions. Enabling the Northern Sea Route and the Northwest Passage to be more accessible for the shipping industry and therefore reduces the energy consumption compared to the Suez Canal Route. Nevertheless, ice will remain an interacting element with ships and structures in Polar and Sub-Arctic regions. A good assessment of forces exerted by the ice on the offshore structure or the ship is essential for designing these arctic structures. Ice-structure interactions depend on the mechanical properties of the ice, which are still not fully explored but can be determined by experimental testing. Over the years, many experiments have been conducted with similar test setups but different testing properties. Therefore the influence of the test properties on the compressive strength of ice is analyzed and discussed by comparing the results of different test settings in this paper. The tests are conducted in a single-factor design experiment. The applied velocities range from 0.01 mm/s to 500 mm/s, causing the ice to behave ductile at lower velocities and brittle at higher velocities.

Abstract:
The Arctic sea ice is declining in extent, volume and thickness. With this decline comes an increased interest in the two main Arctic shipping routes: Canada’s Northwest Passage (NWP) and Russian Northern Sea Route (NSR). The NWP is the most direct route between Asia and the East coast of North America. Some routes are up to 40% shorter than those using the Suez Canal. With commercial and contractual implications, Arctic shipping route access needs to be predictable with sufficient lead time to allow optimization. This paper presents a methodology for forecasting the timing and length of the open-water season (by determining freeze-up and break-up dates) on regional scales at key locations in the NWP along with examples of applications. A suite of statistical models were developed to forecast the timing and length of the open-water season at key locations within the NWP, using a multi-node based quadratic discriminant (QD) approach. Forecasts are feasible up to four weeks in advance. Ensembles of QD models were built for key regions using a feature selection method to select an optimized set of input parameters to better discriminate between two states (i.e., ice or open-water). The set of available features used included observed and modeled environmental, oceanographic and atmospheric parameters. Results of models with a 28-day forecast horizon show that over 59% of predictions for break-up and 79% of predictions for freeze-up fall within a ±4-day range, which is the error on the reference dates derived from the weekly CIS ice charts.

Abstract:
This project was initiated by the Northern Transportation Adaptation Initiative with the aim of quantifying the production rates of ice islands and icebergs in the Canadian High Arctic. A first step toward understanding the risk that these ice hazards pose to vessels transiting through the Canadian Arctic (e.g. Baffin Bay, the Northwest Passage and Beaufort Sea) is to estimate the fluxes from their source areas. These drifting ice hazards have been observed throughout the Canadian Arctic in recent years (Derksen et al. 2012; Peterson 2011) and are poised to become a greater threat due to the projected increase of transportation in the Arctic (Stephenson et al. 2013). It is thus necessary to understand the production rates and thicknesses of ice islands and icebergs to quantify their regional fluxes. This was undertaken through analyses of ice island and iceberg sources in the Canadian Arctic.
