Product Description
'This Handbook marks a considerable achievement by the contributors, and the editors in particular, and is a welcome addition to the literature on the Arctic. The book strikes the right balance between the breadth of issues, states and interested parties covered and the depth that they are covered in. The range collected here is noteworthy in its empirical richness and should prove educational to postgraduate scholars, academics and policy practitioners, and in fact, anyone with a desire to have an up-to-date collection about the present political situation in the Arctic.'- Sage Journals
The Arctic has again become one of the leading issues on the international foreign policy agenda, in a manner unseen since the Cold War. Drawing on the perspectives of geopolitics and international law, this Handbook offers fresh insights and perspectives on the most pressing issues, grouped under the headings of political ascendancy, climate and environmental issues, resources and energy, and the response and policies of affected countries.
With the combined expertise of leading scholars in international relations and international law of the Arctic, the book covers key topics such as climate change, energy, indigenous issues, jurisdiction, marine resources, pollution and preparedness, and emergency response.
Students, academics, political scientists and international lawyers working on Arctic affairs will find this ground breaking Handbook to be of essential reading. It will also be of interest to other social scientists, such as geographers, sociologists, and anthropologists.
