ABSTRACT
This volume is concerned with the European North above the polar circle and its representations in Cultural Geography and International Relations. The chapters in the book deal with cultural, geographical and political imaginations of Northern peoples and landscapes. These imaginations are not treated independently of one another. Rather, emphasis is put on the triangle of and interrelationship between culture, geography and politics. It is aspired to make self-imposed, thoughtparalyzing academic boundaries permeable and to replace mutual neglect with open-mindedness and cognitive curiosity.
