Based on similarities between the concepts of place attachment and interpersonal relationships, these studies take as their starting points Sternberg's (1988a) triangular theory of love and Walster and Walster's (1978) passionate-to-companionate model of love's stages. In Study 1, interviews were collected from sojourners to the Arctic and Antarctic. These interviews were assessed by judges for the amount of passion for, intimacy with, and commitment to the polar region. In Study 2, a self-report form was used to collect data from 30 Arctic sojourners regarding their feelings toward their polar work site. Results from Study 1 indicated that the passionate-to-companionate progression occurred in environmental relationships; Study 2 failed to confirm this finding. In Study 2, analysis of work site type indicated that field workers had the greatest degree of love for the Arctic. In both studies, analysis of the 3 dimensions indicated that environmental love is best viewed as a monolithic construct.

Résumé Poser la question de la place des femmes dans le monde du polar revient, peu ou prou, à transposer dans un domaine littéraire qui se vit comme marginal, une question de société. Celle-ci contient, dans sa formulation même, un nombre incertain de sous-entendus, à commencer par celui d'une inégalité de position par rapport à celle des hommes.

The idea for this textbook developed from the recognition of the need to disseminate information about Polar Law as an emerging field of legal studies - an area of study long overdue greater recognition. Developments in the Polar Regions - the Arctic and Antarctica - are now the subject of growing interest and importance. They concern a divergent range of global and regional development issues and beg further inquiry into the role of law in dealing with many of these issues. This textbook is the first educational material of its kind. It attempts to illustrate the importance of legal values in addressing various challenges across the Nordic region, among remote Arctic communities and globally. The textbook focuses on the various developments in international and domestic law concerning the Polar Regions (e.g., issues of environmental law, law of the sea, resources, human rights law and Indigenous peoples' rights, etc.). By looking at linkages between different areas of law and the other social sciences, the textbook also explores the relevant aspects of the economic, social and political developments affecting both Polar areas (e.g., questions of Polar governance, economics, and the political situation in some of the Arctic areas). The authors hope that this pioneering work will encourage anybody interested in Polar Law to pursue further studies, research or cooperation on the many initiatives which take place within the Nordic, Arctic and global community in relation not just to the Arctic but also to the Antarctic.
