| Summary/Abstract |
The Barents Sea is an ecopolitical region bounded on the south by the north coasts of Norway and Russia, on the east by the 38th meridian, on the north by the Central Arctic Ocean, and on the west by the boundary of the Svalbard Fishery Protection Zone. The fact that much of this region has been largely ice free in modern times differentiates it from the rest of the maritime Arctic and has drawn the attention of both resource users and policymakers to the region. Norway and Russia, the key players in the Barents Sea Region, have developed a cooperative relationship in managing the shared natural resources of the region. Nevertheless, other states have interests in the region. Issues of governance in the Barents Sea Region involve growing needs for improved mechanisms to address the interplay among various elements of the complex of sectoral regimes applicable to the region and for agility in responding to rapid changes in the biophysical and socioeconomic conditions prevailing in the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the existing governance arrangements applicable to the Bering Strait Region (BSR), assesses the emerging needs for governance in the region, and considers options for addressing these needs. Widely regarded as a critical chokepoint between the North Pacific and the Arctic Ocean (and its marginal seas), the BSR is subject to a variety of regimes, ranging from global constitutive arrangements (e.g., 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea) to bilateral operational arrangements. The growth of human activities in the BSR, associated with transformative changes occurring in the Arctic in recent years, is generating new needs for governance. This article reveals options that can be used or ignored by decision makers, in contrast to recommendations that may involve advocacy, with the single objective of contributing to informed decision making in this realm.
