WHITEHORSE – The Northern Review, Yukon University’s open access scholarly journal, has published its 57th issue. This latest edition is the first of three special issues that will be published in collaboration with the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor), exploring northern economic development.
“Within a few months of getting started, we discovered that we had tapped into a deep vein of talent and subject matter on northern commercial activity,” writes Ken Coates, a founding editor of The Northern Review.
The special issue is a collection of essays that speaks to challenges and opportunities facing northern businesses, industries and communities. On one hand high costs and small populations can challenge commercial success, on the other land claims settlements, Indigenous rights and strong social economy present potential for local economic diversification.
