The newest volume is a compilation of short articles on the special theme Inter-Polar Perspectives: Connecting the Arctic with the Third Pole. The Volume is produced as part of the UArctic Thematic Network on Arctic Law and the UArctic Chair in Arctic Legal Research and Education, which the NIEM hosts. 

The contributions are inspired by the discussions held at the first “Inter-Polar Conference: Connecting the Arctic with the Third Pole” held in Kathmandu, Nepal, in September 2023. 

The volume includes a report highlighting major findings and key messages for enhancing research, networks and collaboration between the Arctic and the Third Pole. Additionally, a number of other contributions have also sketched a comparative analysis of the Arctic and the Third Pole regions, discussing their similarities and differences. The analysis was primarily drawn from human and social science disciplines, focusing among other thing on indigenous perspectives, geopolitics and security as well as mining and human displacement.

The publication is non-peer-reviewed but considered scientific.
