| Summary/Abstract |
The forces of climate change and globalization are transforming the Arctic, tightening the links between this seemingly remote region and the world at large with regard to matters of environmental protection, sustainable development, and the pursuit of peace. This has triggered an explosion of both popular and scholarly interest in the far north. Much of the resultant literature is marked by persistent expectations that the Arctic will become the scene of escalating jurisdictional conflicts, resource wars, a new great game and even armed clashes during the coming years. Yet as the books considered in this review article make clear, these expectations are greatly exaggerated; there is much to be said for the proposition that armed conflict is less likely to occur in the Arctic than in most other parts of the world anytime soon. What is needed is an alternative paradigm to provide a basis for understanding the significance of the profound changes now eroding the old order in the Arctic and establishing a basis for framing innovative governance arrangements capable of ensuring the future of the Arctic as a zone of peace.

| Summary/Abstract |
Jurisdictional conflicts between the World Trade Organization ("WTO") and RTAs are increasingly serious as RTAs continue to blossom. Using case analyses and comparison of legal texts, this article attributes the main responsibility for jurisdictional conflicts between the WTO and RTAs to the lack of WTO rules relating to the issue. The article emphasizes the role of juridical power on this issue and offers two arguments by which the WTO Dispute Settlement Body ("WTO DSB") might overcome the deficiency of Article XXIV of General Agreement on Trade and Tariff ("GATT") 1994, which is the primary regulation for RTAs under the WTO system. One of these is to utilize forum-choice clauses of RTAs and the other is to consider general principles of international law related to jurisdictional conflicts. This article considers an application of general principles of international law to be the more suitable solution at present. Interpretation, distinguishing jurisdiction and admissibility, and inherent jurisdiction are three legal bases for better application, and may help the WTO DSB overcome the present difficulties.
