Volume Description

The discovery, just twoscore years ago, of vast oil and gas reserves in the Southwestern part of Norway, and more recently in the Arctic Loftier North region, created an economic titan and posed a vast array of challenges for both the Norwegian government and the residents of this area. How to excerpt and ship all that oil and gas without despoiling the pristine environment? How to utilize this wealth in a socially responsible and sustainable mode? How to prepare the rural High North citizens—traditionally fishermen and farmers—for a global, high-tech economy?

Adopting an original narrative approach to qualitative research, this book tells the stories of 21 individuals either living or having a genuine interest in the Loftier North, from mayors and entrepreneurs to farmers and fishermen. Through these commencement-hand meetings, information technology constructs an ethnographic study that reveals how petroleum and development have impacted on the regional economy and civilisation.

This book will be of involvement to all stakeholders in the oil and gas industry, and for students and scholars of organization studies, cultural and communication studies, environmental anthropology, natural resource management and sustainable development.
