In the chapter I discuss the definition and understanding of the concept of gender, and then move to the concept of "intersectionality" which recognizes the important linkages between multiple identities of gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, and other social categories. I then discuss both the ways in which gender has been addressed, though still minimally, in Arctic research, as well as some of the ways in which Arctic research is itself gendered. I then discuss how gendered perspectives add important insights into understanding security, and more specifically human security, in the Arctic.

However, such assumption neglects complex identity dynamics that can be involved in trustbuilding discourses for engendering security. This article contributes to the literature on trust, security, and identity in International Relations (IR) by making a case for a conceptual focus on the formation of particularized distrust towards "the other" as a corollary to trust and security of "the self". It is argued that in the construction of a political community where security is associated with trust, particularized distrust can also be promoted through institutional discoursesstrengthening the "trusting we" by constructing "the other" who can challenge social trust and feelings of security associated with it. The argument is illustrated through critically examining a state level narrative in Norway in relation to "the other", that is, immigrant. Through this illustrative example, mutual constitutiveness of trust and distrust in a self/other discursive construction will be shown.

This article continues a discussion that has taken place in the Review of International Studies regarding the development of positive security, examining the potential use of the terms 'negative' and 'positive' security to bring clarity to these diverging security perspectives and to argue for a multi-actor security approach. It is argued that positive security perspectives, which rely on non-violent measures, ensure an emphasis upon context, values, and security practices that build trust, and by use of a multi-actor security model, shows the dynamics between state and non-state actors in the creation of security.

While acknowledging the relevance of this narrative, this article nevertheless argues the "Arctic exceptionalism" narrative is insufficient for understanding the complex security situation in the region. The lens of comprehensive security allows for an analysis of power that reveals which security narratives dominate, why, and who decides. After a brief description of the key elements associated with "Arctic Exceptionalism" and clarification of the terms "Arctic," "security," and "comprehensive security," this article offers four core arguments against the dominance of the Arctic Exceptionalism narrative, and concludes that the comprehensive security approach provides a more nuanced and dynamic way of capturing the dynamic cooperative and competitive narratives of Arctic security today.
