Towards a Sustainable Arctic - Hardcover

by Goodsite Michael (Author)

The Arctic's environment, economics and politics are changing rapidly, and the conflicting interests among stakeholders mean that it lacks sustainable political and military cooperation. States bordering the Arctic - Russia, Canada, the United States, and the Nordic countries - as well as those further afield - such as China and Japan - all recognize the economic benefits of the region, but struggle to address the security challenges and the potential environmental impact of activities conducted there. This book provides a snapshot of the subject areas connecting transport, environmental security, resource development, and military security, featuring new material written after Russia's second invasion of Ukraine.
