| Summary/Abstract |
Often we hear about the Arctic as a place buffeted by international and regional pressures — pollutants from agriculture, planetary climate impacts, and rising industrial pressures caused by globalized demand. But the Arctic is also a place of bright hope. It is a place where humankind has a unique opportunity to get development right. Getting it right means instead of viewing the region as a resource frontier to be plundered, we view it as place where sustainability can be more than an afterthought, a place where knowledge-based decisions can safeguard Arctic ecosystems for the benefit of Arctic peoples and humanity as a whole. Our biggest challenge in the Arctic is that we may intervene in Arctic systems on an industrial scale before really understanding the workings and functions of those systems, and so unleash a cascade of impacts that will affect us on a local and global scale. These potential industrial impacts would be added to those already disrupting Arctic systems as a consequence of climate change.

| Summary/Abstract |
The rhetoric following 11 September 2001 was full of talk of operations and battles that would be fought out of the public view, in an effort to prepare voting publics for a conflict of indeterminate scope, duration, and indeed, of place. Locational issues were quickly made central to the new war. 'Sanctuaries', 'safe havens', 'operating environments', 'enabling environments': these were the buzzwords for the long war. They were not new terms of reference, however. Conceptually, sanctuary implies a complex terrain composed of numerous paradigms, correlates, and characteristics. There is also a long and rich history of sanctuary concepts and practices, the lessons of which suggest that perhaps it is more appropriate to think of the issues not in terms of static, grid-referenced points on a map, but as systemic gaps, cracks, elisions, or voids - or perhaps as a series of evolving perspectives, processes and conditions
