Beskrivning
In this timely new book, international scholars and military professionals come together to explore the strategic consequences of the thawing of the Arctic. Their analyses of efforts by governments and defence, security, and coast guard organizations to address these challenges make timely and urgent reading.Rather than a single national perspective, The Fast-Changing Arctic brings together circumpolar viewpoints from North America, Europe and Asia for an integrated discussion of strategic military, diplomatic, and security challenges in the high North. Thoughtful analyses are included of different regions, climate issues, institutions, and foreign and security policies. This is an important book for students of international studies, political science, and northern studies.

Recensioner i media

The EcoTravel Guide online magazine featured 'The Fast-Changing Arctic' in February 2014. "Much has been written on the climatological and ecological stresses on the region, with little addressed on the military, defence, strategic and macro-economic opportunities associated with polar thaw. Here, international scholars and military professionals explore the strategic consequences of sea-ice decline. Timely reading indeed, on sovereignty and territorial disputes, oil and gas exploration, fishing, coastguard responsibilities and Arctic tourism."
