      abstract = {In recent years the Arctic has become the focus of  political, popular and scholarly debates around the future  of our world's Energy. Increasing consumption, dwindling  reserves, climate warming and developing technologies are  expected to push energy-related activities ever further  into the previously inaccessible north. Within this  framework, energy in the Arctic is predominantly understood  as synonymous with oil and gas production for international  exports; meanwhile, any social sustainability concerns  associated with energy-related developments remain largely  neglected or reduced to regional socioeconomic concerns.  Lempinen adopts an alternative approach, exploring how  energy and its societal aspects are defined and debated in  the context of the circumpolar north. Combining an in-depth  conceptual discussion on energy and the social dimension of  sustainability with an empirical focus on the scientific  and political "truths" produced about energy and society in  the Arctic energyscape, this book is an enlightening read  for students, scholars and professionals interested in  issues related to energy and society in the Arctic or  beyond. Hanna Lempinen is a postdoctoral researcher at the  Aleksanteri Institute, University of Helsinki, Finland, and  Visiting Senior Research Fellow at the Arctic Centre,  University of Lapland, Finland. Lempinen's research builds  on environmental sociology, social impact assessment  literature and sustainability studies in developing novel  approaches to understanding the intertwinements of energy  and the society at large.},
