摘要：Geir H.nneland, research director at Fridtjof Nansen Institute, Norway, has written extensively on international relations in the European North, Barents Sea fisheries, and Russian-Norwegian relations in the Arctic. His book Arctic Politics, the Law of the Sea and Russian identity is a collection of articles based on media analysis and H.nneland's long experience of cooperation with Russians. H.nneland says in the preface that the book is a revised and extended version of his previous book Hvordan skal Putin ta Barentshavet tilbake. [What can Putin do to take the Barents Sea back.], published in Norwegian in 2013 (Akademika). His idea was to analyse the shift in Russia's politics after the presidency of Dmitry Medvedev (2008–2012), given that Medvedev was the president who signed the delimitation agreement with Norway in 2010. The treaty created vehement debate and opposition in Russia, not least among local fishery or- ganizations and trade unions from Northwest Russia, who criticized the treaty for not protecting the rights of Russian fisheries. H.nneland's main thesis is to show "that the agreement's critics and proponents both inscribe themselves into different Russian nar- ratives of Russia's rightful place in the world" (p. 8).
