The Paradox of Svalbard: Climate Change and Globalisation in the Arctic (Anthropology, Culture and Society)

The Paradox of Svalbard is a groundbreaking book that delves into the complex relationship between global capitalism and climate change in Longyearbyen, the world's northernmost settlement.

With a unique blend of ethnography and critical geopolitics, this book sheds light on the dilemmas facing this Arctic archipelago, where higher temperatures, more rain, and permafrost thaw are rapidly transforming the town.

As the locals grapple with the effects of tourism, immigration, and labor on the climate crisis, The Paradox of Svalbard offers a gripping account of the intersection of global trends and local experiences.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the challenges of a melting world and the ways in which we can work towards reversing the effects of climate change.
