Rational Development of the Arctic

该提案解决了美国和苏联北极地区不可再生资源开发的紧迫问题。将利用对国家制度的比较评价来帮助巩固政府、工业、环境组织和土著社区的利益。在苏联科学院（Soviet Academy of Sciences）的赞助下，要求资助五名美国与会者于1990年秋末在莫斯科会见苏联同事。该提案的国际和多学科重点与极地项目部北极社会科学项目的目标以及北极研究和政策法案的国际目标非常吻合。

This proposal addresses the urgent issues of non-renewable resource development in Arctic regions of the United States and the USSR. A comparative evaluation of national regimes will be used to help consolidate the interests of government, industry, environmental organizations and Native communities. Funding is requested for five U.S. participants to meet with Soviet colleagues in Moscow in late Fall 1990 under the auspices of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. The international and multidisciplinary focus of this proposal coincides very well with the goals of the Arctic Social Science program within the Division of Polar Programs and the international goals of the Arctic Research and Policy Act.
